{% comment %} Collaborative Notes

If you want to use an Etherpad, go to

https://pad.carpentries.org/2019-06-19-SERC

where 'YYYY-MM-DD-site' is the identifier for your workshop, e.g., '2015-06-10-esu'. {% endcomment %} {% if page.collaborative_notes %}

We will use this collaborative document for chatting, taking notes, and sharing URLs and bits of code.

{% endif %}

{% comment %} SYLLABUS

Show what topics will be covered.

  1. If your workshop is R rather than Python, remove the comment around that section and put a comment around the Python section.
  2. Some workshops will delete SQL.
  3. Please make sure the list of topics is synchronized with what you intend to teach.
  4. You may need to move the div's with class="col-md-6" around inside the div's with class="row" to balance the multi-column layout.

This is one of the places where people frequently make mistakes, so please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run 'tools/check' as well. {% endcomment %}

Syllabus

{% if page.carpentry == "swc" %} {% include sc/syllabus.html %} {% elsif page.carpentry == "dc" %} {% include dc/syllabus.html %} {% elsif page.carpentry == "lc" %} {% include lc/syllabus.html %} {% endif %}


{% comment %} SETUP

Delete irrelevant sections from the setup instructions. Each section is inside a 'div' without any classes to make the beginning and end easier to find.

This is the other place where people frequently make mistakes, so please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run 'tools/check' as well. {% endcomment %}

Setup

To participate in a {% if page.carpentry == "swc" %} Software Carpentry {% elsif page.carpentry == "dc" %} Data Carpentry {% elsif page.carpentry == "lc" %} Library Carpentry {% endif %} workshop, you will need access to the software described below. In addition, you will need an up-to-date web browser.

We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page.

{% comment %} Start of 'OpenRefine' section. {% endcomment %}

OpenRefine

For this lesson you will need OpenRefine and a web browser. Note: this is a Java program that runs on your machine (not in the cloud). It runs inside a web browser, but no web connection is needed.

R

R is a programming language that is especially powerful for data exploration, visualization, and statistical analysis. To interact with R, we use RStudio.

      Install R by downloading and running

      from <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/index.html">CRAN</a>.
      <strong>Also, please install the
      <a href="https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download">RStudio IDE</a></strong>.
      Note that if you have separate user and admin accounts, you should run the 
      installers as administrator (right-click on .exe file and select "Run as 
      administrator" instead of double-clicking). Otherwise problems may occur later, 
      for example when installing R packages.

Git

Git is a version control system that lets you track who made changes to what when and has options for easily updating a shared or public version of your code on github.com. You will need a supported web browser.

You will need an account at github.com for parts of the Git lesson. Basic GitHub accounts are free. We encourage you to create a GitHub account if you don't have one already. Please consider what personal information you'd like to reveal. For example, you may want to review these instructions for keeping your email address private provided at GitHub.

<div class="tab-content">
  <article role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane active" id="git-windows">
    <p>
      Git should be installed on your computer as part of your Bash
      install (described above).

    <p>
      <strong>For OS X 10.9 and higher</strong>, install Git for Mac
      by downloading and running the most recent "mavericks" installer from
      <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/">this list</a>.
      Because this installer is not signed by the developer, you may have to
      right click (control click) on the .pkg file, click Open, and click
      Open on the pop up window. 
      After installing Git, there will not be anything in your <code>/Applications</code> folder,
      as Git is a command line program.
      <strong>For older versions of OS X (10.5-10.8)</strong> use the
      most recent available installer labelled "snow-leopard"
      <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/">available here</a>.

    <p>
      If Git is not already available on your machine you can try to
      install it via your distro's package manager. For Debian/Ubuntu run
      <code>sudo apt-get install git</code> and for Fedora run
      <code>sudo dnf install git</code>.
