This is a short step-by-step guide to demonstrate how different datasets can be added to a practice virtual machine, which can then be analysed using DataSHIELD commands.
The basic outline is:
Download the data files and dictionaries .zip file (download from here: take your pick of the available types of data: e.g. DASIM or SURVIVAL)
boot your practice VM
once it is running, log in to the opal portal using the administrator login combination (find it here, see the services part of the table)
Go into “projects”
“Add project”
Upload the .zip file
import the .zip file
You should be ready to analyse!
Screenshots and more detailed instructions are coming very soon!
