NYC Python CPython Workshop

Getting Started

Here's everything you need to do to perform the exercises for this workshop using your computer instead of on a remote virtual machine.

What You Need

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant (docs)
• PuTTY or another SSH client (Windows users only)

Note

PuTTY users may need to follow the directions on Stack Overflow.

Setup

After installing VirtualBox and Vagrant, clone the repository and start up the virtual machine.

$ git clone https://github.com/NYCPython/CPython-Workshop.git
$ cd CPython-Workshop
$ vagrant up

Note

The last step may take some time if this is your first time using the saucy64 Vagrant box.

Once these steps are complete, you can access the Vagrant box's command line interface with:

$ vagrant ssh

What To Do If You Have Wifi Problems

There will be thumbdrives available containing the following:

• saucy64
• VirtualBox
• Vagrant

After installing VirtualBox and Vagrant, the saucy64 Vagrant box can be added manually.

$ cd /path/to/dir_with_saucy64
$ vagrant box add saucy64 saucy64.box
