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).

pip install rcpchgrowth
With notebook & package dependencies:
pip install "rcpchgrowth[notebook]"

extra currently pulls in: pandas

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. |
