Boston Python workshop 2/Friday setup/Windows project dependencies: Difference between revisions

<li>Click and save these four dependencies to your DownloadsDesktop directory:

The ".zip" extension on the above files indicates that they are compressed Zip archives. We need to "extract" their contents. To do this, click on "Start", then "Computer", and navigate to your DownloadsDesktop directory. For each of the 4 zip files, click on the file and click the "Extract all files" button to extract the contents. This will create a directory for each file, containing the source code for the dependency.

Each of these 4 dependencies has an installer script that we'll need to run at a command prompt to install the software. For each project, start a command prompt and navigate to the DownloadsDesktop directory where the source code lives. For example, if the httplib2-0.6.0 project was extracted to C:\Users\jesstess\DownloadsDesktop\httplib2-0.6.0,

cd C:\Users\jesstess\DownloadsDesktop\httplib2-0.6.0
