Instructions for reproducing the data analysis

1. install DataJoint conda environment

Create the Anaconda environment iblenv (https://github.com/int-brain-lab/iblenv) that has all the packages you need.

Activate that environment, then install DataJoint following these steps: https://tutorials.datajoint.io/setting-up/datajoint-python.html. See https://github.com/int-brain-lab/paper-behavior#obtain-a-datajoint-account-through-ibl-jupyterhub for instructions on how to obtain a DataJoint account.

2. clone GitHub repo

Clone (first time) or pull (after that) this citricAcid repository to a convenient place on your laptop

3. open Jupyter notebook

Notebooks are a nice way to run your code piece by piece and see the results. source activate djenv, jupyter notebook will open a folder where each notebook will reproduce one ore more figures.
