22 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
23 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * We offer "a number of one-page info sheets":http://soundsoftware.ac.uk/handouts-guides on topics related to this workshop |
24 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * This very site, "code.soundsoftware.ac.uk":http://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk, is a code hosting site for projects by UK-based audio and music researchers. If you're interested in audio and music, please do register and make use of it! Repository hosting uses Mercurial, and your projects can be public or private. |
25 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
26 | 1 | Chris Cannam | h2. Links about the software in the workshop |
27 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
28 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * In day 1 we have used "Mercurial":http://mercurial.selenic.com/ and "EasyMercurial":http://easyhg.org/ |
29 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
30 | 1 | Chris Cannam | h2. Topical links |
31 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
32 | 1 | Chris Cannam | h3. Unix and shell |
33 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
34 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * "Mac OS X man pages online":https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/darwin/reference/manpages/index.html |
35 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * "Software Carpentry lessons":http://software-carpentry.org/4_0/shell/index.html |
36 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * "ELE595 - Software Tools For Engineers":http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/~simond/teaching/ele595/index.html -- Undergraduate module at QMUL. Weeks 5-10 covered Unix |
37 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * "Unix tutorial @ University of Surrey":http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ |
38 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
39 | 1 | Chris Cannam | To use Unix commands on a Windows machine, you will need to install additional software (e.g. "MinGW":http://www.mingw.org/ or "Cygwin":http://www.cygwin.com/). |
40 | 1 | Chris Cannam | NB: Cygwin doesn't install nano, Python or Mercurial by default - they need to be selected in the setup. |
41 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
42 | 1 | Chris Cannam | The Windows command prompt and powershell provide similar facilities to the Unix shell, but with different commands and syntax! Of the two, the command prompt is very similar to the basic Unix tools we introduced, but Powershell is more powerful. |
43 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
44 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * Some Windows command prompt "tutorials":http://www.7tutorials.com/ode-command-prompt-most-powerful-and-least-used-windows-tool |
45 | 1 | Chris Cannam | * Official Microsoft "Windows Powershell Owners Manual":http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee221100.aspx |
46 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
47 | 1 | Chris Cannam | If you own an android tablet or phone, then that is a Unix device. It doesn't come with a command prompt by default, but you can "install one":https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en. NB: this may be dangerous for your device! |
48 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
49 | 1 | Chris Cannam | If you want to try a full Unix system, then "VirtualBox":http://www.virtualbox.org/ can be used to create a "virtual machine" - a fake computer that runs inside your normal session. You can then install a Linux distribution on that virtual machine. |
50 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
51 | 1 | Chris Cannam | h3. Version Control |
52 | 1 | Chris Cannam | |
53 | 1 | Chris Cannam | On Windows, "TortoiseHg":http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/ provides an alternative interface to Mercurial - you can right-click files in Windows Explorer. It's more techy than EasyMercurial! |
