Kişisel Verilerin Maskelenmesi
Pivony Text Anonymization is a tool to hide users’ potential identification information including:
This tool is only supporting Turkish language 🇹🇷 If you are running on Windows this guide is meant for you.
1- First step is to download the open source masking codes provided by Pivony. The necessary source code or executable files are here: pivony.com/masking-private-info
2- install python from this link. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3104/ Choose 32bit or 64bit based on your operating system.
3- During the installation, you might receive a warning: You need to have a Windows admin account to complete installation. If this is the case, you need to contact your IT HelpDesk to install Python to your PC.
4- After you complete the installation of Python, now we need to verify that the Python is correctly installed to your computer. To check your Python version, press the Start menu (Windows at the bottom-left) and search cmd and press enter. This will open your a black screen called Command Prompt.
On the black screen, run the following command to see the Python version:
python -V
The expected output is the installed python version. This is a verification of successful Python installation.
5- While the command prompt is open, run the following command to install the package of virtual environments:
pip install virtualenv
6- Go to the masking project folder which is downloaded in Step 1. Open the inner folders until you reach to the level where you see the folders “logs, output_files, input_files, code”.
7- Copy and paste the address (searchbar, path) of the existing folder
