The library is maintained by Nael Shiab, computational
journalist and senior data producer at CBC News.

You might also find the
journalism library and
Code Like a Journalist
interesting.

To quickly get started with
simple-data-analysis, create a
folder and run:

``


Deno >= 2.2.x

deno -A jsr:@nshiab/setup-sda

Node.js >= 22.6.x

npx setup-sda

Bun

bunx --bun setup-sda
`

Here are the different options:

- --claude or --gemini or --copilot: Adds a CLAUDE.md or GEMINI.md or
.github/copilot-instructions.md file and extra documentation in ./docs to
work efficiently with AI agents.
- --example: Adds example files.
- --scrape: Adds web scraping dependencies.
- --svelte: Adds a Svelte project.
- --pages: Adds a GitHub Pages Actions workflow (works only with --svelte).
- --git: Initializes a git repository and commits the initial files.
- --env: Creates a .env file for environment variables and loads them when
running.

You can combine options. For example, this command will install web scraping
dependencies, set up a Svelte project with example files, initialize a git
repository and make the first commit, add a GitHub Pages Actions workflow, and
create a .env file:

`
deno -A jsr:@nshiab/setup-sda --scrape --svelte --example --pages --git --env
