Section 2: Setting up the ColorWall
You'll be writing effects for a ColorWall like the one in this video!

 Download the ColorWall project from http://mit.edu/jesstess/www/BostonPythonWorkshop  Windows users, try http://mit.edu/jesstess/www/BostonPythonWorkshop/ColorWall.zip first. The file should automatically get uncompressed when you download it. OS X and Linux users can use either the .zip or .tar.gz file.   The ColorWall project has no dependencies to install on common, modern Windows, OS X, and Linux* distributions. To confirm that you have no dependencies to install, at Python prompt run:

If that command results in an, let a staff member know and we'll help get your dependencies set up. (*On some Debian installation, when you  it will tell you that you need to install the   package, which you should do) Run the example effects 

That's it! Friday is over
Chat with us! Ask questions! Go home!
