Installation

Docker

If you want to avoid setting up docker environments, there are shortcut scripts the create a dockerized environment with RCPCHGrowth already installed.

This will generate a container which will launch some Jupyter notebooks in a browser and allow local dev ( with hot reload).

s/up

Minimal installation (without docker) assuming you have a python virtual env setup

pip install rcpchgrowth

With notebook & package dependencies:

pip install "rcpchgrowth[notebook]"

The notebook extra currently pulls in: pandas, matplotlib, jupyterlab, ipykernel.

Data handling / privacy

Data handling & privacy
Never commit identifiable patient data.
• Keep raw identifiable data outside version control (secure, access‑controlled).
• De‑identify before analysis (remove names, NHS numbers, full DOB; date‑shift if required).
• Do not push raw exports to forks, PRs or gists.
• Use ResearchTemplate.ipynb for generating de‑identified derived outputs.
If in doubt, stop and seek local information governance guidance.
