Going forward all new tutorial projects will follow the pattern of subreddit_analysis/ with a readme and specific install steps.
For older projects feel free to create an issue if you need help installing and I will fix it sooner. In general I would recommend using Miniconda Latest 64 bit for your operating system.
Windows:
- Download Minconda -- Select Latest Windows 64 bit
- Install and select the option to add Minconda to your system path (it isn't default)
- Install Windows Terminal
- [Optional but recommended] Install git-bash
- Open windows terminal and select a shell of your choice, on Windows I use Command Prompt or Git Bash
- Test that conda was installed

- Now choose where you want to run the projects. Use
cdcommands and you can download the repository by doinggit clone https://github.com/rogerfitz/tutorials - Nearly done now,
cdinto the directory and test that a tutorial works. I'd recommend starting with subreddit_analysis/README.md
- Download Minconda -- Select Latest Mac 64 bit
- Install and select the option to add Minconda to your system path (it isn't default)
- Open the Mac Terminal and test that conda was installed

- Install github command line if you don't have it already, in Mac terminal
brew install git - Now choose where you want to run the projects. Use
cdcommands and you can download the repository by doinggit clone https://github.com/rogerfitz/tutorials - Nearly done now,
cdinto the directory and test that a tutorial works. New to python? I'd recommend starting with intro_to_jupyter otherwise go with subreddit_analysis
