Using the terminal and an editor

Note: These are not designed to be student facing.

I make these notes available with the intent of making it easier to plan and/or take notes from class.

Student facing resources for each topic are all available at vknight.org/cfm/.

First meeting

After this meeting students should:

  • Understand the basic idea of using a cli and an editor

Explain that there is no specific class problem today as there is no new python concept to cover.

  • Open a terminal an macOS and explain the use of Anaconda Prompt on Windows.
  • Navigate to cfm describing the difference in commands when appropriate on Windows.
  • Open a Python REPL.

Now open VScode (show how to install), create a file and put it in the folder. Run it.

After class communication

Send the following email after class::

Hi all,

A recording of today's class is available at <>.

In this class I went over using the command line and an editor.

In preparation for your tutorial tomorrow please work through the tenth
chapter of the Python for mathematics book:
https://vknight.org/pfm/building-tools/04-editor-and-cli/introduction/main.html

A reminder that tomorrow is your last tutorial.

Please get in touch if I can assist with anything,
Vince
