Dependencies

    sbt >= 1.4.7
    openjdk@8

Should be available by default on iccluster028.iccluster.epfl.ch. Otherwise, refer to each project installation instructions. Prefer working locally on your own machine, you will have less interference in your measurements from other students.

If you work on iccluster028.iccluster.epfl.ch, you need to modify the PATH by default by adding the following line in ~/.bashrc:

    export PATH=$PATH:/opt/sbt/sbt/bin

If you have multiple installations of openjdk, you need to specify the one to use as JAVA_HOME, e.g. on OSX with openjdk@8 installed through Homebrew, you would do:

    export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/Cellar/openjdk@8/1.8.0+282";

Dataset

Download data.zip.

Unzip:

> unzip data.zip

It should unzip into data/ by default. If not, manually move ml-100k and ml-25m into data/.
