mml-drive plugin
================

This plugin provides support for fast data installation via a shared network drive. It extends the create scheduler
to look for respective downloaded files there first. This might be useful if a team works jointly with ``mml`` and you
want to avoid redundant downloading of raw datasets.

Install
-------

After installing this plugin via ``pip install mml-drive`` you need to mount a network drive. On that network drive
there needs to reside the following file structure: ``MedicalMetaLearner/DOWNLOADS``. You may copy contents of your local
``MML_DATA_PATH/DOWNLOADS`` into that folder to provide the downloaded files to others. Every user that wants to download
is required to add ``export MML_NW_DRIVE=path/to/drive/root`` to their ``mml.env`` file.

Usage
-----

Just use ``mml create`` as usual. If the network drive offers a benefit, ``mml`` will download data from there.
