Getting Started

Netbuffer includes the Example model to help get you started.

Installation

• Install Anaconda 64bit Python 3, which includes a number of required Python packages.

• Create and activate an Anaconda environment (i.e. a Python install just for this project).

conda create -n netbuffer3.7 python=3.7
activate netbuffer3.7

• Install Pandana 0.4. Pandana performs Netbuffer’s core network operations and can be installed either via conda or pip. Using conda is recommended; see the Pandana documentation for more details.
