Git and Baby Python Preliminaries for Ai1, Fall 2019

1. Students should install Anaconda Python 3.7 version
2. Students on Windows should install git for windows. This will also give you a new terminal with a bash shell (in addition to windows command.com), which is the standard command line shell on unix like systems.

Mac users have git pre-installed. If you are a linux user, we'll assume you know what you are doing and have installed git.

In Anaconda run the Jupyter Lab interface from the Anaconda GUI. Then open intropython.ipynb and git.ipynb in that interface.

On all OS's open a terminal with bash running. On OSX this is Terminal.app, on linux New Terminal, and on windows git-bash terminal. The git commands in git.ipynb are intended to be carried out from this shell.
