This folder holds the configuration files for the Binder service. See repo2docker for details.

The configuration files are:

• apt.txt - APT Packages (= Linux programs) used
• environment.yml - Python packages used
• requirements.txt - more Python packages used

These files can also be used to create a conda environment for the book as follows:

conda env create -f binder/environment.yml
source activate debuggingbook

The provided Dockerfile allows creating a lightweight Docker image - especially for mybinder, where the default repo2docker script takes too long to execute.
