Hello and welcome to this lesson for ETWAS course, you're going to need a text editor of Choice personally
for me, I'm going to be using Visual Studio Code.
Like I said, you're welcome to use any text editor you like.
If intelligence is your thing, go with that if you really want to.
You could even use notepad.
Otherwise the choice is yours.
There are many you can choose from like Assim.
But for me personally, I'm going to be using Visual Studio Code and I've got some really useful plugins
for you, but I'm going to make life so much easier for you.
I'll include all the links in the next lecture so you can go ahead and download the person's first voice
code visual studio code, download it for your platform by default.
It's picked up that I'm on a Mac, but you can download it for Windows and Linux, so I'll give you
a Banza or fedora.
RedHat, you're covered.
Once we have that installed, there's four plug ins we're going to need and there's two ways of installing
it.
Sort of going to do is I'm going to open up the code.
And also here we might as well set up a folder.
I click on open folder, go to documents, and I'm going to create a new folder here and I'm going to
call it humanity's.
And look open.
So this is the folder we're going to use for our course to work from.
And as I mentioned, there's two ways to install the extensions, we can click on the gear at the bottom
and get to managed extensions and when we want to use is Cuban êtes.
But way overweight use Microsoft also here.
Al Qaeda linked to this as well and exact plug ins, so we're going to type in Cuba, Nessie's.
It into the first one we want is this Microsoft plug in, what we can do is click install visual studio
code as required, a publicly installed.
And I continue to allow it to open, as you can see, I've already got it installed, but in your case,
you'd see a questionnaire a bit like this and you click install going back.
We have a when we want is this cupidity support and as you can see by this give here, this is by far
the most amazing plugin I've used so far.
Of course, you're going to see a lot of things that we're going to be having to type out.
A lot of Yamal code, Rabindra memorizes.
What you can do is use this plug in and very quickly start generating the communities definitions we
want to use.
And I'm going to tell you now, it's going to save so much time using this.
Once you got that installed, was another plug in I recommend, which is the Yamal plugin with communities
in the definition files.
We use Yamal.
And this is a great way to making sure your communities files in the Yamal are suspect.
There's one last really useful plug in that is going to save you so much time.
I really recommend that.
What we can to do is type in breaking space.
And it's the first one here.
Now, if you're using intelligence, this picks up automatically, but if you're using visual studio
code, it doesn't.
And sometimes what can happen if you copy code from the Internet and try and use it, sometimes it will
break and we'll give you an error, for example, on line sixty seven and you look at it and the code
will look absolutely fine and you won't know what's causing it.
It's because of, you know, breaking spaces, one of the worst offenders.
And again, this is coming from a Mac perspective.
If you copy code into notes and then try and copy it back into visual studio code, sometimes you will
get Mesnil breaking spaces.
You have a place it might happen is when you pull code online sometime, somewhere there can be a norm
breaking space.
The code looks fine, but when you actually go ahead and run it, it breaks is a really fantastic plug
in and I really recommend it because this can save you so much time.
You may never see this issue, but trust me, when it does go wrong, you spend hours trying to work
out why it's not working and it saves so much time.
So we've covered a lot here.
We got this code installed.
We've got our plug ins and we set up the folder.
With that, we're ready to jump inside.
Of course, I look forward to seeing you in the next lesson.
