Learn Python on Windows

1. Download and install the latest version of Python here
2. Download and install the latest version of Atom here
3. Download and install the latest version of Github here
4. To clone FRC team 1418’s “PyBasicTraining” from Github, first go here. From there, click the green “Clone or download” button. Then, click the small clipboard icon. This will copy the URL of the whole project and allow you access to the code.
5. Open Atom. In Atom, press CTRL+SHIFT+P. Type into the search bar “Github.clone”. Then, paste in the link to team 1418’s “PyBasicTraining”. Then, complete the challenges in the README.
6. Powershell can be accessed by pressing the Windows key, and typing Powershell into the search bar. Depending on the version of Windows, “Powershell” or “Windows Powershell” will appear. Alternatively, on Windows 10, you can right click on the Windows logo and select “Powershell”.
7. Once done finishing the code, save it to somewhere you can easily access or know the location of (such as your desktop or a file you know the name of). In Powershell, type “cd” and then the name or address of where the saved file is stored. This will open it in Powershell and allow you access to run it or change certain parts of it.
8. Once inside the file in Powershell, type ./run_all.bat to run the code. This will simply run everything inside the file.
