Adding data to the JupyterHub

This section covers how to add data to your JupyterHub either from the internet or from your own machine. To learn how to share data that is already on your JupyterHub, see {ref}howto/content/share-data.

:::{note} When you add data using the methods on this page, you will only add it to your user directory. This is not a place that is accessible to others. For information on sharing this data with users on the JupyterHub, see {ref}howto/content/share-data. :::

Adding data from your local machine

The easiest way to add data to your JupyterHub is to use the "Upload" user interface. To do so, follow these steps:

First, navigate to the Jupyter Notebook interface home page. You can do this by going to the URL <my-hub-url>/user/<my-username>/tree.
Click the "Upload" button to open the file chooser window.
```
:alt: The upload button in Jupyter.
```
Choose the file you wish to upload. You may select multiple files if you wish.
Click "Upload" for each file that you wish to upload.
```
:alt: Multiple file upload buttons.
```
Wait for the progress bar to finish for each file. These files will now be on your JupyterHub, your home user's home directory.

To learn how to share this data with new users on the JupyterHub, see {ref}howto/content/share-data.

Downloading data from the command line

If the data of interest is on the internet, you may also use code in order to download it to your JupyterHub. There are several ways of doing this, so we'll cover the simplest approach using the unix tool wget.

Log in to your JupyterHub and open a terminal window.
```
:alt: New terminal button.
```
Use wget to download the file to your current directory in the terminal.
```
wget <MY-FILE-URL>
```

Example: Downloading the gapminder dataset.

In this example we'll download the gapminder dataset, which contains information about country GDP and live expectancy over time. You can download it from your browser at this link.

Use wget to download the gapminder dataset to your current directory in the terminal.

wget https://swcarpentry.github.io/python-novice-gapminder/files/python-novice-gapminder-data.zip

This is a zip file, so we'll need to download a unix tool called "unzip" in order to unzip it.
```
sudo apt install unzip
```
Finally, unzip the file:
```
unzip python-novice-gapminder-data.zip
```
Confirm that your data was unzipped. It could be in a folder called data/.
