WEBVTT 0 00:00.420 --> 00:05.570 Now in the next few lessons we're going to be learning about something that's really really powerful, 1 00:05.670 --> 00:10.890 and it's the command line. And a lot of people will tell you that you can only truly call yourself a 2 00:10.890 --> 00:14.920 developer if you know at least how to use the command line. 3 00:14.920 --> 00:16.710 Now this depends on who you ask. 4 00:16.740 --> 00:23.580 But at the end of the day it's a really really powerful way of interacting with your computer without 5 00:23.580 --> 00:26.300 the need for a graphical user interface. 6 00:26.370 --> 00:31.830 And we're basically just issuing commands to the computer and getting it to do whatever it is that we 7 00:31.830 --> 00:32.520 want it to do. 8 00:33.000 --> 00:37.080 So in order to get started though we're going to install the Hyper Terminal. 9 00:39.850 --> 00:40.740 Now on a Mac 10 00:40.750 --> 00:43.470 you already have a terminal application. 11 00:43.810 --> 00:48.730 But the reason why we're installing Hyper is because, one, we're going to stay consistent between Windows 12 00:48.790 --> 00:56.110 and Mac users, but also hyper is super customizable, and you can check out a whole bunch of themes if 13 00:56.110 --> 00:57.120 you wanted to. 14 00:57.160 --> 01:02.860 And, similar to Atom, it's got a whole bunch of plugins that you can put in which customizes and makes 15 01:02.860 --> 01:07.330 Hyper more powerful and does more of what you want it to. 16 01:07.330 --> 01:13.510 So, first and foremost, if you're on a Mac just head over to hyper.is and click on Download Hyper 17 01:13.810 --> 01:14.930 for macOS. 18 01:15.070 --> 01:19.420 And once you've downloaded it it's just a matter of double clicking to unzip it. 19 01:19.600 --> 01:25.480 And now you have downloaded and installed the Hyper application, and all you have to do is just to move 20 01:25.510 --> 01:29.380 that again into your applications folder. 21 01:29.380 --> 01:35.770 Now on Windows it's a little bit more involved but all you need to do is, again, go to hyper.is, and 22 01:35.770 --> 01:38.170 then click Download Hyper for Windows. 23 01:38.170 --> 01:43.540 If the web site doesn’t automatically detect which platform you’re using, then click on Other Platforms 24 01:43.660 --> 01:49.240 and select the Windows.exe. And once you've downloaded that, you should have something called 25 01:49.250 --> 01:50.590 hyper-setup.exe. 26 01:50.590 --> 01:59.400 So just double click on it to run the setup instructions and once it's done it should show you this 27 01:59.460 --> 02:03.190 Hyper Terminal, and you can see it right here. 28 02:03.210 --> 02:06.850 Now there's a few other things we have to do before you're ready to go. 29 02:06.870 --> 02:12.570 We're going to install something called Git, which we're going to learn about a little bit later on, but 30 02:12.600 --> 02:17.760 we're going to install it now because it comes with something called Git Bash, which is a way for us 31 02:17.760 --> 02:22.460 to be able to use Bash to be able to interact with the command line. 32 02:22.680 --> 02:29.360 If you head over to git-scm.com, and by the way all of the links that I'm mentioning are available 33 02:29.370 --> 02:35.940 of course, again, on the Course Resources List, including where to download Git as well as what we're going 34 02:35.940 --> 02:37.830 to show right now. 35 02:37.830 --> 02:40.150 So git-scm.com. 36 02:40.160 --> 02:46.200 You’re going to head over to Downloads, and then you're going to click on Windows to download it for your system, 37 02:46.380 --> 02:49.950 and it should automatically pick the version that you need. 38 02:49.950 --> 02:57.270 So once that's downloaded then simply just double click on the exe file and go through the installation 39 02:57.270 --> 03:04.140 wizard, making sure that you have Git Bash checked as something that you're going to install. 40 03:04.140 --> 03:11.670 So we're going to keep all of the default options and then we're simply going to keep clicking next 41 03:11.910 --> 03:17.810 until you get to a screen which allows you to install and that will automatically install Git Bash onto 42 03:17.910 --> 03:19.290 your system. 43 03:19.290 --> 03:23.530 Now once that's done I recommend restarting your computer. 44 03:23.730 --> 03:31.260 And then we're going to configure Hyper to use Git Bash. And again in that list of links there's a link 45 03:31.710 --> 03:36.160 that links to the Hyper configurations, which is this page right here. 46 03:36.160 --> 03:43.740 And I want you to simply copy all of this, and we're going to go into Hyper, and you're going to click 47 03:43.740 --> 03:52.200 on this little button here, and you're going to go into Edit and Preferences, and it's going to open up 48 03:52.200 --> 03:53.980 your configurations. 49 03:54.000 --> 04:00.660 So here I want you to delete everything that's currently in there and paste what you just copied over 50 04:01.470 --> 04:10.520 and now if you just go ahead and click save and close it down, then Hyper will update its configuration. 51 04:10.520 --> 04:16.860 You should now close down Hyper and then reopen it again from the start menu in order for those configurations 52 04:16.860 --> 04:23.470 to go through. The very last thing to do is to check and make sure that the installation has been successful. 53 04:23.490 --> 04:32.400 So if you open up a Hyper window and you type echo $, and then SHELL in all caps, and 54 04:32.400 --> 04:36.180 hit enter, you should see /bin/bash. 55 04:36.180 --> 04:42.150 If that is the case then congratulations, you're successful, and you can continue on with the module. If 56 04:42.150 --> 04:47.280 you don't then be sure to review the previous steps we've gone through and it’s especially important 57 04:47.340 --> 04:53.040 that you've installed Git Bash and you've updated the configuration file as shown in the video.
