This repository contains material for the exercise where real data from CMS experiment at CERN is used for a simple particle physics data-analysis. There are two easy ways to get the exercise working:
With Binder it is easy to make Jupyter Notebook files interactive in the browser without any installing. Just open the badge 
If the badge isn't working, you can set the Binder environment manually. Go to https://mybinder.org/ and paste the URL of this repository (https://github.com/cms-opendata-education/zboson-exercise) into the field "GitHub repository name or URL". After that click the "launch" button and wait a moment for Binder to create the environment.
Note that the Binder environment is just temporary and will be deleted after you choose to close the exercise.
Another way to open the exercise is to download the repository to your computer and then use Jupyter Notebook to open the exercise. This way requires that you have installed Jupyter Notebook (https://jupyter.org/) to your computer.
The contents of the repository can be downloaded by clicking the green Clone or download button on the main page of the repository. Note that all files of the repository have to be in the same directory in the computer.
