Tutorial Intro

Let's discover DataCovey in less than 5 minutes.

Overview of how it works:

1️⃣ Create a Secure Project Space

  • Both parties gain access to a shared but privacy-preserving environment.
  • Define a dataset schema collaboratively. ‍

2️⃣ Upload Private Data

  • Each party securely uploads data that remains completely invisible to the other.
  • No raw data is shared—only encrypted computations occur.

3️⃣ Run Secure Queries

  • Perform aggregation or set algebra operations (e.g., intersection, difference).
  • Discover insights without exposing underlying records.

Getting Started​

Get started by creating a new site.

Or try DataCovey immediately with docusaurus.new.

What you'll need​

  • Node.js version 18.0 or above:
    • When installing Node.js, you are recommended to check all checkboxes related to dependencies.

Generate a new site​

Generate a new DataCovey site using the classic template.

The classic template will automatically be added to your project after you run the command:

npm init docusaurus@latest my-website classic

You can type this command into Command Prompt, Powershell, Terminal, or any other integrated terminal of your code editor.

The command also installs all necessary dependencies you need to run DataCovey.

Start your site​

Run the development server:

cd my-website
npm run start

The cd command changes the directory you're working with. In order to work with your newly created DataCovey site, you'll need to navigate the terminal there.

The npm run start command builds your website locally and serves it through a development server, ready for you to view at http://localhost:3000/.

Open docs/intro.md (this page) and edit some lines: the site reloads automatically and displays your changes.
