Many of the tools of open source development are primarily used via the command line. Let's get some practice with navigating the computer from the command line.
Goal #2: install a text editor
In addition to being able to run Python, we are going to install a good text editor for writing and saving Python code during the workshop.
If you would like to use a different text editor from the recommendation for your operating system, please let a staff member know.
Goal #3: install an IRC client
IRC is a real-time chat protocol that open source projects often use to talk about the project and as a medium for users and developers to help each other.
Bonus material
- Find and join an IRC channel for something you are interested in.
- on Freenode, try channels like #python, #django
- You can get a full list of Freenode's channels here
