Mac OS X

The default shell in all versions of Mac OS X is Bash, so no need to install anything. You access Bash from the Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities). You may want to keep Terminal in your dock for this workshop.

Linux

The default shell is usually Bash, but if your machine is set up differently you can run it by opening a terminal and typing bash. There is no need to install anything.

Windows

Git should be installed on your computer as part of your Bash install (described above).

Mac OS X

For OS X 10.9 and higher, install Git for Mac by downloading and running the most recent "mavericks" installer from this list. After installing Git, there will not be anything in your /Applications folder, as Git is a command line program. For older versions of OS X (10.5-10.8) use the most recent available installer labelled "snow-leopard" available here.

Linux

If Git is not already available on your machine you can try to install it via your distro's package manager. For Debian/Ubuntu run sudo apt-get install git and for Fedora run sudo yum install git.

Windows

You can use your favorite text editor. If you do not have one, we recommend Notepad++ or Sublime Text. Be aware that you must add its installation directory to your system path. To add Notepad++ to the path: 1) Open Git-Bash from the start menu. 2) Type: cd [enter] to make sure you are in your home directory. 3) Type: notepad .bashrc [enter]. This will create .bashrc file in Notepad. Add the following text to the file:
export PATH=$PATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++"
alias npp=notepad++
4) Save the file and exit Notepad. 5) Open a new Git-Bash window. You should now be able to launch Notepad++ by typing: npp [enter]. If you run into trouble please ask your instructor to help you with this.

Mac OS X

You can use your favorite text editor. If you do not have one, we recommend Text Wrangler or Sublime Text.

Linux

You can use your favorite text editor. If you do not have one, we recommend Gedit, Kate or Sublime Text.
