Set up

Conference wifi can be spotty at times. If you are able to install these items before Open Source Day, that would be great. If you are not able we'll have a way for you to do so at the event.

Editor

You will need to have a code editor installed on your system. There are many available that are open source. Two user friendly editors are:

GitHub and git

GitHub Help pages

  1. Create a GitHub account if you do not already have one.

    GitHub setup

  2. Make sure git is installed on your system.

  3. From the command line (terminal), enter git --version. If git is installed on your system and its PATH, it will display git's version.

Command line (Terminal)

Know how to access a terminal on your system.

Jupyter Notebook

  1. Download the Anaconda installer for your operating system. FYI...most modern computers are 64 bit.
