This repo contains a Dockerfile and example notebooks for trying Bolt, including the Spark backend.

If you want to explore this environment interactively, we recommend using the live notebook service, hosted by CodeNeuro and imlpemented using tmpnb.

If you want to develop, we recommend setting up a Python environment with Anaconda and installing a local version of Bolt (see the Bolt documentation for more information).

To run the image on OS X follow these instructions:

• Download and install boot2docker

• Launch the boot2docker application from your Applications folder

• Type docker run -i -t -p 8888:8888 freemanlab/bolt
