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.
