Introduction to Working in the SHIRE

Join the TraCS Data Science Lab for an introduction to local computing in the Secure Health Informatics Research Environment (SHIRE). There are two primary ways to work with data and perform an analysis in the SHIRE: directly on your personal virtual machine workspace or in Databricks. In this seminar, we'll focus on the former approach of working with your data using the Linux or Windows virtual machine and the tools available on it. We'll start with the basics of deploying a new VM and extend into using basic tools, finally progressing to using more advanced techniques for working with large data fully on your VM.
