Getting Started

You will need to create a few folders in the project directory to ensure that directory stucture matches the relative file paths in the code. Here is a list of "to do's" before running the code.

1. Create a data folder in your cloned repo
2. Create a file called "credentials.py" and place it in the code folder. This is where you will keep things like your apikey. In that file write

apikeys = {'ipumskey':'YOUR IPUMS API KEY'}

and swap out the 'YOUR IPUMS API KEY' with, well, your Ipums api key!
