Install MobaXterm - it will put itself in the windows
Offers is Python 2 - unusable for the course. You can also take a look at the entire collection. I have made a ready-to-use collection for you (right click and 'Save as'): You should perhaps not install the newest MobaXterm from the web site, but use the old and almost outdated version, I have below, as the term and python fits together. MobaXterm is an older but good tool, that can be downloaded VirtualBox and Linux Virtualizing Linux on your windows PC can be a great option, see below. It can be a bit difficult to understand how to make the unix (ubuntu) to work well with windows, but when you succeed (there are hints) then it is a great solution. Windows Subsystem for Linux is the most modern and unix-like solution, see this page for details - you need to search a little bit. There are several solutions of varying quality for Windows. Mette Beck shows how to open a terminal and install and use Komodo text editor.Įdita Karosiene shows how to install/use X11 and connect to a remote server with SSH.įinally a link to other resources about unix on Mac. Some videos have been prepared for you, demonstrating what to do. There are several nice text editors for Macs Komodo, TextWrangler, Sublime Text 2, jedit, gedit, etc. Two videos on installing Python 3 in Mac: video 1, It can be installed from a package available on .Ī description of the process is available here. Since the course needs Python 3, you need to download and install it.
This means you are mostly ready for the course once you figure outĪ Mac has as standard Python 2 installed. If you already know how to work with unix, then you can use an IDE as you please.Ī Mac has a BSD unix underneath all the fancy graphics. Unix is the defacto work environment in Life Science.When starting to use big data, the IDE will hamper you - even prevent you from succeeding.Servers (big computers) do not always offer an IDE.Why is unix as a work environment important?
Using an IDE removes this element of the course. Part of what the course/teacher wishes to teach is how to confidently and with experience use unix as a working environment, which means how to work with the unix file system, the shell, using text editors to write programs and the unix commands to test/execute them. The use of these tools is somewhat discouraged in this course. Some people have discovered tools like Spyder, Jupyter or P圜harm, which creates an environment for making and running programs. General remarks about programming environments, IDE's Read all for your OS before actually doing anything - make informed decisions. Anything mentioned here is free software. Here is how and what you should do on various Operation Systems (OS). Before you meet up on the first day of the course, you will have to be able to start a terminal in a unix environment, and to edit files in the same environment with a text editor.
