Follow the links below to manually download the programs:
Select the 64 bit edition for your operating system from the following link:
https://code.visualstudio.com/Download
Please note that we are not using Visual Studio, which is a different programme. Make sure you are downloading and installing Visual Studio Code.
Select your appropriate operating system and download the 64-bit edition of Anaconda Individual Edition at the following link:
https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual
Open PowerShell and run the following commands to install VS Code:
winget install vscode
winget install -e --id Anaconda.Anaconda3
To install Git-SCM and Miniconda (optional):
winget install -e --id Git.Git
winget install -e --id Anaconda.Miniconda3
If you are using a Raspberry Pi, or a computer where performance is unsatisfactory, you may skip installing Anaconda, due to the hardware limitations of the platform, and install Miniconda instead.
Open a terminal and run the following to install VS Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install code
Download Miniconda (chosen over Anaconda due to smaller system footprint):
https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
To install git (optional):
sudo apt install git
You can download the PDF (standard A4 size, or the booklet if you want to print it) or the editable fodt file for our class here. If you are feeling adventurous, try cloning our repository so you are always kept up to date with the latest changes!
Session on the use of Anaconda with other IDEs may be modified in your class session depending on the time limitations, and requirements of the class.
