Set it up

Pick your laptop. Do this at home, before class — the first run downloads about 10 GB, and on Windows it needs one restart. Plan about an hour, most of it unattended.

• MacInternet

  Mac setup

  Apple Silicon, over the internet. One command installs and starts the whole class stack.

• WindowsInternet

  Windows setup

  Windows 10/11 via WSL2. Turn WSL2 on once, then one command does the rest.

• MacUSB stick

  Mac setup from the USB stick

  Same result as the Mac guide, but the ~14 GB of images come off the instructor's stick.

• WindowsUSB stick

  Windows setup from the USB stick

  Same result as the Windows guide, but the ~14 GB of images come off the instructor's stick.

The USB guides are for the stick handed round in class: same result, but the images come off the stick instead of the Wi-Fi. On Windows, WSL2 still has to be switched on at home first.

Use it

Setup happens once; these are the pages to keep for the rest of the term: addresses and logins, the everyday commands, your own files, updating, and what to do when something breaks.
