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
We need a good text editor (not a word processor!) for editing Python code.
If you already have a preferred text editor, skip this step.
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
