Sprout is a component of the Seedcase framework that aims to take data created or collected for research studies and "grow" it in a structured way using modern data engineering best practices.
Sprout is the backbone of the Seedcase family; this is where data is uploaded, described, and stored.
Seedcase Sprout is designed to receive data files and guide the user through adding metadata to the research data that the user of Seedcase would like to store in a responsible way.
Seedcase Sprout can be installed in two ways. The first is to install it as a user, and the second is to install it as a contributor.
To install it as a user, see our Installation Guide.
If you would like to contribute, please read the contribution guidelines first. Then return here to install Poetry and clone the repository.
