Dear Students,

You will take this course using a VMWare Virtual Machine. You should do the following:

CREATE AN ACCOUNT ON GitHub (this website) if you haven't already got one...
Download VMWare Player (if you haven't already got it): https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_workstation_player/14_0
You should download the VMWare Virtual Machine that I have created for this course, which is in this Zenodo deposit: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1147435
Unzip the virtual machine
Start VMWare Player and select the virtual machine - start it (PASSWORD IS osboxes.org)
In the top-right corner of the VM Desktop, you can select either US-style or Spanish-style keyboard
Browse to: https://github.com/markwilkinson/UPM_BioinformaticsCourse
In the top-right corner, click "Fork", to make a copy of this repository in your own GitHub account
Browse to the copy in your GitHub account (you should already be there after Forking)
Click the big green "Clone" button and copy the address to your clipboard
open a terminal window in your Virtual Machine
type: git clone http://github.com/yoruaccountname/UPM_BioinformaticsCourse.git (whatever you copied in step 9)
after it is cloned, cd into the "Lectures" folder and type jupyter notebook to start the interactive Jupyter session
Browse to Lesson 1 and... let's get started!
