Importation Task

What You'll Need

First: 

• brew
• python
• pip

Then:

• virtualenv
• virtualenwrapper
• imagemagick
• dcraw

Also:

• EditThisCookie Chrome extension
• A UVaBox account

1. Create a password for your UVaBox account 

Final result: A password 

This will let the importer access your account. It can't do this if you're exclusively using NetBadge. 

1. Log in at https://virginia.app.box.com
2. Click on your initials in the top right corner, then choose Account Settings
3. Create your new password in the Authentication section

Keep this password somewhere safe. You'll need it when you start the import. 
 

2. Use EditThisCookie  to get the key you need to access Mandala Images

Final result: A KEY and VALUE

1. Using Chrome, log in to https://images.shanti.virginia.edu
2. On the Images page, open Chrome developer tools (View > Developer > Developer Tools) 

   • The developer tools will open at the bottom of the page 

3. Open the EditThisCookie tab in the developer tool
4. Look for a row where: 
   • The name that starts SESS, and
   • The 'Secure' column is checked off
5. Copy and paste the first two cells of the row
   • The first cell (SESSXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) is your KEY
   • The second cell (a string of random digits) is your VALUE

Keep your KEY and VALUE somewhere safe. You'll need them when you start the import. 

3. Set up your package installers and python

Final result: python, pip, and brew installed on your computer

These instructions assume you've never worked with the MacOS Terminal app, or any Unix-based system, or any command line interface. 

Terminal is a command line interface for your Mac. Instead of clicking on buttons to accomplish what you need, you'll send small snippits of texts instructions to your computer. You'll need to learn the basics of using this interface to run the importer. (Don't worry, if you just copy and paste commands from this document, you should probably be fine...) 

Open Terminal 

1. Open your applications 
2. Open the Utilities folder, then click Terminal

You should see the terminal now. It will look something like this: 

Last login: Wed Feb  6 08:11:10 on ttys000
Veronicas-MacBook-Pro:~ veronicakuhn$ 

Install Homebrew 

Copy and paste the following code into the terminal, then press Return. 

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

The terminal may ask you to hit Return again to confirm the installation, then will request your Mac password. Enter it, then hit Return one last time.  

Install Python

Copy and paste the following code into the terminal, then press Return. 

brew install python

(You can do this because you installed homebrew in the previous step. Woohoo.) 

Install Pip

The command to install python should have already installed pip, but let's make sure. Copy and paste the following code into the terminal, then press Return. 

pip --version

You should see the version of pip that's been installed. 

4. Install other stuff you need

Virtualenv 

Run the following : 

pip install virtualenv

virtualenwrapper

Run the following: 

pip install virtualenvwrapper

imagemagick

Run the following: 

brew install imagemagick

dcraw

Run the following: 

brew install dcraw
