Boston Python workshop 2/Friday setup/Mac text editor

Our recommendation
On Mac OS, we suggest the Komodo Edit text editor.

To install it:


 * Go to http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit/downloads
 * Click on Mac Disk Image (DMG), and wait for it to download.
 * Open the new Komodo Edit virtual drive in Finder, and locate the Komodo Edit program.
 * Copy it to Applications: drag the icon and drop it onto Applications in Finder's left-hand navigation column.

To run it:


 * Open it like you would any other Mac program: From the programs list in the Applications folder.

Success!
Now you have an editor that you can use to open any text file, including Python programs.

If you prefer a different editor for text, check with an instructor before moving on to make sure it will work for the weekend.
