Installation Instructions (please complete before Monday)

To get started you need to install Git, some command line tools, Atom (a text editor) and Matlab. Follow the instructions below.

Coding Tools

We'll be using git from the command line and through the Atom text editor.

Git and command line tools

MacOS:

  1. Open terminal
  2. xcode-select --install

Windows 10:

  1. Turn Windows features on and off -> check "Windows subsystem for Linux" -> ok
  2. Reboot
  3. Microsoft Store -> search “Ubuntu” -> Install
  4. Set up Ubuntu
    1. Open Ubuntu
    2. Let it install, then set a username and password (you probably want to write this down somewhere)
    3. sudo apt update
    4. sudo apt upgrade
    5. Note that windows cannot see your root directory. If you want to get to your C drive cd /mnt/c. Remember this for later

Ubuntu: All the tools we need are part of a vanilla install

Other operating systems: You're on your own. We will be using Git from the command line.

You should now be able to enter git --version and have it return something like "git version 2.17.1". The version won't matter for what we're doing today.

GitHub

Make a GitHub account if you don't already have one.

Atom

Download and installation instructions here: https://atom.io/

Matlab

UCI provides Matlab to students for free. To download and install it, follow the instructions here: http://laptops.eng.uci.edu/software-installation/matlab

Install Matlab 2019a. You won't need any toolboxes.

Day 1 / Monday

Morning: Science, project management and Git

We'll discuss how to manage a project as a graduate student. We'll learn how to use git to do so for a coding project.

The lecture on git and project instructions are in git-lecture.md. We'll write a caption for this figure.

Afternoon: A sample project and Matlab basics

Now that we know some git basics, we'll set up an example project. Lecture on rationale and map can be found in project-set-up.md.

We'll write the code for this project in Matlab, so we'll learn some Matlab along the way. See CodingBasics.mlx

Finally, the project itself is in julia_fractal.
