As for necessary software, I generally like to teach using the Anaconda distribution of Python which comes bundled with everything people need to follow along.
If we decide to include topic modelling, then participants would also need to download MALLET and have java installed on their computers.

The workshop will use the following software and python script and dataset will be shared later.

Gephi needs Java to function. If you don’t have it on your computer, Gephi asks you to install it.
