FsLab is a single package that gives you all you need for doing data science with F#. FsLab includes an explorative data manipulation library, type providers for easy data access, a simple charting library and support for integration with R and numerical computing libraries. All available in a single package and ready to use!

The project produces three things:

1. FsLab NuGet package with references to all FsLab libraries and FsLab.fsx load script
2. FsLab.Runner NuGet package that is used by the Journal template and contains formatters (for embedding output into HTML), Journal generation code & styles and build scripts for Journals
3. FsLab Journal Template for Visual Studio (which is a simple wrapper for the above)

The source files in the repository are organized as follows:

If you want to be able to build FsLab Journal template, you'll need Visual Studio 2013 SDK. To update one or more dependencies, use the following steps:

• Run build Clean to make sure that there are only source files around
• Run .paket/paket.exe update to update the dependencies
• Run build to build everything or build NuGet to build everything except for the FsLab Journal template (useful if you don't have the SDK installed)
• Add new line with version information to RELEASE_NOTES.md!
• Run publish from command line to upload NuGet package (if you have the rights)

After running build NuGet for the first time, you can also edit the extensions in src/FsLab.fsx.

If there were any changes in the Journal template, you also need to update the journal template in the FsLab.Templates repository. At some point, these should be generated automatically too!
