We are now going to "go into" (or call) the folder (the directory) we downloaded for Watson Beat.
Go to your Start Menu, and type "cmd". Right click to "Run as Administrator".
Command cd \
Do you know which User you are? If not, press and hold on your keyboard Ctr Alt and Del to open your Task Manager. In the menu, select the User tab, that is your username. :)
Back to the terminal, Dir. NOTE: Windows is not case-sensitive like other operating systems, so you could do dir too.
dir command lists all the directories. See the directory called "Users"? We are going to cd (cd = "call directory") which will place us in the "Users" directory.
cd Users
dir
See your username?
cd [YOUR_USERNAME]
dir
Lets go to the project. I am assuming that this project is in the Downloads folder right now. If you placed it somewhere else, like Desktop, then cd Desktop. But I will assume that it is still within the Downloads folder for now.
cd Downloads
What is the project folder you extracted called? Mine is watson-beat-master.
cd [PROJECT FOLDER]
There you have it! You can now go back to the README and proceed with the tutorial.
We are now going to "go into" (or call) the folder (the directory) we downloaded for Watson Beat.
A) Open your terminal, so for Mac: Go to your Finder and select "Applications" and then the "Utilities" as shown.
From here, you should see your Terminal window (black box)
Optional) Open this up and type sudo -s to become a superuser for this session.
B) Type pwd in your terminal to see where you are now on your computer. Then ls to get a list of your directory you are in.
You should see Downloads here. This is (I am assuming out of sake of example) where your download of the project is located.
So, cd Downloads or if you placed the project on your Desktop or anywhere else, cd [PROJECT LOCATION]
NOTE: "cd" stands for "call directory". The terminal is case-sensitive, so mind you p and Q's. "Folder" same as "Directory".
C) Okay, are you in the correct directory per where your project was downloaded? My project folder is called watson-beat-master, yours should be the same. If not, see what the name of the folder you downloaded and decompressed is.
D) Now cd [PROJECT DIRECTORY]
There you have it! You can now go back to the README and proceed with the tutorial.
Open your terminal per searching for it, opening your overview of applications on lefthand side, or if you have it pinned.
cd to the root directory for this project.
There you have it! You can now go back to the README and proceed with the tutorial.
