  INTRODUCTION

  Edit the general explanatory paragraph below if you want to change
  the pitch.
-->
<p>
  <a href="{{site.swc_site}}">Software Carpentry</a>'s mission
  is to help scientists and engineers get more research done in less
  time and with less pain by teaching them basic lab skills for
  scientific computing.  Library Carpentry offers comparable training to help librarians, archivists, museums and information professionals gain computing skills relevant to their profession.  Participants will be encouraged to
  help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own
  problems sets.

  ETHERPAD

  At `_misc/etherpad.txt` you will find a template for the etherpad.

  Display the Etherpad for the workshop.  You can set this up in
  advance or on the first day; either way, make sure you push changes
  to GitHub after you have its URL.  To create an Etherpad, go to

      http://pad.software-carpentry.org/YYYY-MM-DD-site

  where 'YYYY-MM-DD-site' is the identifier for your workshop,
  e.g., '2015-06-10-esu'.

  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

  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.

<h2 id="setup">Setup</h2>

<p>
  To participate in this Library Carpentry workshop, you will need
  access to the software described below. In addition, you will
  need an up-to-date web browser.
</p>
<p>
  We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors
  that may be useful on the
  <a href = "https://github.com/swcarpentry/workshop-template/wiki/Configuration-Problems-and-Solutions">Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page</a>.

  <h3>The Bash Shell</h3>

  <p>
    Bash is a commonly-used shell that gives you the power to do simple
    tasks more quickly.

            <li>
              Type the following line into the command prompt window exactly as shown:
              <p><code>setx HOME "%USERPROFILE%"</code></p>
            </li>
            <li>Press [Enter], you should see <code>SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.</code></li>

    <div class="col-md-4">
      <h4 id="shell-macosx">Mac OS X</h4>
      <p>
        The default shell in all versions of Mac OS X is Bash, so no
        need to install anything.  You access Bash from the Terminal
        (found in
        <code>/Applications/Utilities</code>).
        See the Git installation <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LQhwETCdwY ">video tutorial</a>
        for an example on how to open the Terminal.
        You may want to keep

    </div>
    <div class="col-md-4">
      <h4 id="shell-linux">Linux</h4>
      <p>
        The default shell is usually Bash, but if your
        machine is set up differently you can run it by opening a
        terminal and typing <code>bash</code>.  There is no need to
        install anything.

	Please look at the <a href="https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Installation-Instructions">Installation Instructions</a>
	from the OpenRefine project for more details on how to run OpenRefine on your machine. The instructions below are adapted from this link.
	We will be using <a href="https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/releases/tag/2.6-rc.2">version 2.6-rc2</a> during the

	A <a href="https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp">Java Runtime Environment (JRE)</a> is required to run OpenRefine. If the installation procedure below fails, make sure you have

  <h4>Running OpenRefine</h4>
  <p>
  OpenRefine is operated from within a web browser (such as Chrome or Firefox).
  If your browser doesn't open automatically when you start OpenRefine (see above),
  navigate to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:3333/">http://127.0.0.1:3333/</a> in your favourite browser to open the OpenRefine window.
  Please note that even though you use a browser to operate OpenRefine, it is still run locally on your machine, and not on the web.

  <h3>Text Editor</h3>

  <p>
    When you're writing code, it's nice to have a text editor that is
    optimized for writing code, with features like automatic
    color-coding of key words.  The default text editor on Mac OS X and
    Linux is usually set to Vim, which is not famous for being
    intuitive.  if you accidentally find yourself stuck in it, try
    typing the escape key, followed by <code>:q!</code> (colon, lower-case 'q',
    exclamation mark), then hitting Return to return to the shell.

  <h3>Python</h3>

  <p>
    <a href="http://python.org">Python</a> is a popular language for
    scientific computing, and great for general-purpose programming as
    well.  Installing all of its scientific packages individually can be
    a bit difficult, so we recommend
    <a href="https://www.continuum.io/anaconda">Anaconda</a>,
    an all-in-one installer.
  </p>

    <p>
      Regardless of how you choose to install it,
      <strong>please make sure you install Python version 3.x</strong>
      (e.g., 3.4 is fine).
    </p>

    <p>
      We will teach Python using the IPython notebook, a programming environment
      that runs in a web browser. For this to work you will need a reasonably
      up-to-date browser. The current versions of the Chrome, Safari and
      Firefox browsers are all <a
      href='http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/2/install/install.html#browser-compatibility'>supported</a>
      (some older browsers, including Internet Explorer version 9
      and below, are not).

  <h3>Scrapy</h3>
  <p>
        In the first part of the Web scraping lesson, we will use a Chrome browser extension to get started with web scraping.
		Please ensure you have a working copy of the Chrome browser, as well as the
		<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/scraper/mbigbapnjcgaffohmbkdlecaccepngjd">Scraper extension</a>.
		We will also use OpenRefine to clean up extracted data.
  </p>
  <p>
		In the second part of the lesson, we will use the Scrapy framework to build a web scraper in Python. This requires
		a working installation of Python, please refer to the <a href="#python">section on installing Python</a> for details.
  </p>

  <div class="row">

		Scraper</a> extension.
	</p>

	<p>
		We will also need a command-line tool to run Scrapy. See the <a href="#shell">section on installing GitBash</a>
		if you haven't done so already.
		If you already have another shell installed, such as <a href="https://cygwin.com/install.html">Cygwin</a>, this should be fine too.

      <p>
            If you installed Python using Anaconda as <a href="#python">recommended above</a>, do the following:

				<li>Run <code>conda install -c scrapinghub scrapy</code>
			</ol>
      </p>
	  <p>If you have another install of Python, you should be able to use the pip package manager to install Scrapy:
