Line 1: {{CDSW Moved}} ==Download the WikipediaAPI project== # Right click the following file, click "Save Target as..." or "Save link as...", and save it to your Desktop directory: http://mako.cc/teaching/2014/cdsw/WikipediaAPI.zip # The ".zip" extension on the above file indicates that it is a compressed Zip archive. We need to "extract" its contents. To do this, ~~click~~open ~~on "Start", then "Computer",~~Finder and navigate to your Desktop directory. Find WikipediaAPI.zip on your Desktop and double-click on it to "unzip" it. That will create a folder called WikipediaAPI containing several files. ==Test the WikipediaAPI code== Line 14 ⟶ 16: ls will show you the source code files in that directory. One of the files is "~~twitter1~~wikipedia-mwc1.py", which has a ".py" extension indicating that it is a Python script. Type: python ~~twitter1~~wikipedia-mwc1.py at the command prompt to execute the run.py Python script. Wait a little while while your computer connects to Wikipedia. You should see some data from Wikipedia go by on your screen. If you don't, let a staff member know.
