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

# Node.js
npx setup-sda

# Bun
bunx setup-sda

# Deno
deno run -A npm:setup-sda

There is one option:

• --js : To use JavaScript instead of TypeScript.

The script will:

• Make sure that the folder is empty.

• Check your runtime (Node.js, Bun, or Deno).

• If you use Node.js:

  • If it's >= 22.6.0, it will create an main.ts and tsconfig.json (unless you passed the option --js)
  • If it's < 22.6.0, it will create an main.js

• If you use Bun or Deno, it will create an index.ts (unless you passed the option --js)

• If you use Node.js or Bun, it will create a package.json with two scripts:

  • npm run sda to run and watch index.ts or index.js
  • npm run clean to remove the folders .sda-cache (used by methods like cache) and .temp (used by duckdb-node when there is not enough RAM).

• If you use Deno, it will create a deno.json with two tasks:

  • deno task sda to run and watch index.ts
  • deno task clean to remove the folders .sda-cache and .temp

• Install the libraries (with NPM, Bun, or JSR):

  • simple-data-analysis
  • journalism

• Create a .gitignore file with:

  • node_modules
  • .temp
  • .sda-cache
