==Some kind of Terminal thing== | |||
If you are using Windows, get used to using the '''cmd''' program. You'll need it. Under MacOSX you have the '''terminal.app''' or you can use [http://www.iterm2.com/#/section/home iTerm2]. If you are using Linux, thats no bother, you'll have a terminal application no doubt. | |||

You can download the whole thing as a zip (which is a good thing to do I'd say, if you dont have git installed). All the source code we are playing with, the examples and such, can be downloaded from here. Please download it and see if you can follow it before you arrive. | |||
