Setting up for your first use

We will mostly be using Jupyter notebooks to do coding in this class. Here are some setup instructions for download these notebooks.

1. Login to the Jupyter hub at the URL given to you by your instructor.

2. Start a new terminal by going to New in the drop-down menus and selecting Terminal

   

3. Copy the following code to your clipboard. At the terminal paste in the command and hit enter (remember to highlight the whole line, you can double-click to highlight all):

      git clone https://github.com/JasonJWilliamsNY/biocoding-2019-notebooks.git
   

   You should get an output that looks something like:

    Cloning into 'biocoding-2019-notebooks'...
    remote: Enumerating objects: 88, done.
    remote: Counting objects: 100% (88/88), done.
    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (83/83), done.
    remote: Total 88 (delta 1), reused 85 (delta 1), pack-reused 0
    Unpacking objects: 100% (88/88), done.
   

You are now ready to continue on with the course!
