In the following videos, we will be working with the command line using Unix commands.

These commands are the same ones you would run in a Linux server (most servers on the internet run Linux) and will work fine on a Linux system or Mac.

Some commands are different on Windows though.

For consistency reasons, if you are a Windows user, you can use Git-bash to overcome this. (Git-bash may be already installed on your computer if you are using the latest Windows versions)

And to make things easier, you can use hyper which can run using Git-bash.

You can follow these steps and you will be up and running in no time:

1. Download & install hyper using this link.

2. Download & install Git using this link. When selecting components, make sure “Windows explorer integration -> Git Bash Here” is ticked.

3. Go to this webpage. Click anywhere on the webpage and press Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-C.

4. Open the hyper terminal and press Ctrl-Comma. This will open your hyper configuration file.

5. Click anywhere inside the configuration file, then press Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-V. This will paste the content of the webpage above to your file. Press Ctrl-S to save and close the configuration file.

6. Restart Hyper: Now you will be able to run Unix commands on your Windows machine.
