let's build a dataset that looks at active FHV from NYC Open Data

Let's Build a Dataset!

1. Setup Qri

First, you'll need the latest CLI binary. head over to our releases page and install the binary somewhere on your $PATH. You should be able to type qri help and see a nice introductory message.

Before we can do useful things with Qri, we need to set it up. So let's start by running setup:

$ qri setup

Qri will ask you to pick a peername, this is your "handle" on qri. If you don't want to choose one, just hit enter & Qri will use the random peername shown to you in the prompt. Changing your peername is a bit of a pain, so it's worth taking the time now to find one that works for you.

2. Create a Dataset!

cd to this directory & run the following:

$ qri save --file dataset.yaml

If everything works, you should see green text saying dataset created followed by a lot of numbers & letters

3. Connect & See your dataset's visualzation

The dataset we just made includes a viz component, which we can see in a browser. First, let's connect up qri:

$ qri connect

then visit the following URL in your browser:

http://localhost:2503/render/me/nyc_for_hire_vehicles/

3. Check for Updates

If you want to keep this data up-to-date, just run:

$ qri update me/nyc_for_hire_vehicles

if nothing in the source data has changed, you'll

4. Publish to the world!

If you'd like others to see your work, you can publish it to qri.io:

$ qri publish

you'll now be able to see your dataset at:

https://app.qri.io/[your_peername]/nyc_for_hire_vehicles
