Important: To do this part, you need to have already published your Twitter data.
This is a more deeper and technical part about how you can visualize your Twitter presence. This is the document outline:
- Installing Pharo.
- Installing Grafoscopio.
- Runing the Grafoscopio interactive notebook with you exported data.
- Save and tweet your Twitter Data Selfie.
- Help us to refine and improve the process.
For this, we are going to use the Grafoscopio pocket infrastructure for data activism, storytelling, visualization and reproducible research and publishing.
Installing Pharo
Go to the Pharo downlad website and download Pharo for your platform (Windows, Linux or Mac).
Installing Grafoscopio
After installing and launching Pharo in your computer, go to the Grafoscopio User Manual and follow the installation instructions in the capter 3, subsection 3.1: "Installing from the Pharo Catalog". If you are in a workshop with us, don't worry, we will help you all along the way. The Manual also provides community support contact places and support channels (mailing list, Telegram chat channel).
Running the interactive notebook
- Once Grafoscopio is installed over Pharo, go to the Docking bar (the one in the top border of the Pharo Window) and select the Launch menu.
- Select the
Launch > Notebook from the Internet...submenu. Copy from the web and paste to the previous input box this url (with no extra spaces at the beginning or the end):
http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/dataweek/doc/tip/Artefactos/DataSelfies/data-selfies.ston
Click the "OK" button.
You will see a Grafoscopio interactive notebook, which is a tree like document, used by this software to organize different kinds of documents, from simple notes to book size projects. The notebook contains two main parts: The tree (left) and the node detailes (right). Click on the node named "re:publica 2018", specifically, on a little triangle at the left. You will see the node contents and its children (other nodes with more detailed information).
The nodes should be relatively self-explanatory. To run the code nodes, click on the green "Play" symbol triangle at the left of each node. (We will show you more details at the workshop).
Saving and sharing the visualization
This will be explained in the live workshop and documented later here.
Helping us to refine and improve the process
