| | 1 | == Getting Started with Sahana Eden == |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | Thank you for participating in the first GHC Codeathon for Humanity with the Sahana-Eden project! Here are a few resources to help you get started. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | == Install the code and tools... == |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | * Try out this canned installation -- Ubuntu Linux in a virtual machine, with all the tools and code needed to work on Sahana Eden: [InstallationGuidelinesVirtualMachine Sahana-Eden Installation using a Virtual Machine] |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | The virtual machine install allows you to completely set-up the Sahana-Eden development environment using [http://www.virtualbox.org/ Virtual Box] - no fussing with your native OS installation. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | * For contrast, the normal setup is here: [InstallationGuidelinesDeveloper Sahana Eden Installation Guidelines for Developers] |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | Please let us know if there are any problems! |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | == Play with (a) Python... == |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | * If you don't (yet) know Python, that's not a problem -- it's a pleasant language that's easy to get started with quickly. We'd suggest looking at the introductory lessons - [http://diveintopython.org/ Dive into Python] |
| | 18 | * Best is, start up Python and try out commands interactively. (If you did the above installation, you'll have Python in the virtual machine.) |
