Setting up on MACS

(5&6 applicable to Linux but file is probably .bashrc or .tcshrc)

Getting READY

  1. Finder - Preferences - Sidebar - check your Homefolder

  2. Editor - AppStore
    • Tincta
      OSX 10.8 and higher (free in AppStore little octupus)

      command + shift + .     to show invisible files

    • TextWrangler (only works on older operating systems; replaced by BBEdit-yuck!)
    • Sublime (nice but 3rd party and only a free trial)
    • ?

  3. Terminal - SpotlightSearch - Terminal - Options - Keep in Dock

Getting JAVA

  1. Download & install proper version of Java for your machine from this website:

    http://jdk.java.net/16/
    (If doesn't work, try https://jdk.java.net/ )
     

    Go to https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk13-downloads-5672538.html

    Download: jdk-13.0.2_osx-x64_bin.dmg (As of Mar 23,2020)
      It's a large file so depending on your connection may take a while to download so be patient.

    Double click icon to install. You can trash the DMG when done.

Getting Objectdraw.jar or Edu.tar

  1. CSci 157 ONLY - Intro to Programming
    DOWNLOAD objectdrawV1.1.2.jar

    Where?  I suggest adding a subfolder to your home folder, JavaPkgs
              and then drag/move the file you just downloaded into new folder

  1. CSci 257 ONLY - Data Structures
    Go to http://ldale.sewanee.edu/CprS/257/admin/textbooks.php

    Download: edu.tar
    Where? place file into a "new" subfolder in your home folder you'll name JavaPkgs

             cd JavaPkgs          Don't forget!
             tar xvf edu.tar
    
    
  1. Edit your .bash_profile found in your home folder.
             export CLASSPATH=.:~/JavaPkgs/objectdrawV1.1.2.jar:$CLASSPATH
           
      CSci 157 ONLY - Intro to Programming
    • DOWNLOAD 157 FILE & SAVE IN HOME FOLDER .bash_profile
      CSci 257 ONLY - Data Structures
    • DOWNLOAD 257 FILE & SAVE IN HOME FOLDER .bash_profile
    
    
    

Checking to see it all worked...

  1. Download the following java test files and TIAS

     

(Repetitive) Just some screenshots for #1 above...

Open Finder
then select Preferences...
then select Sidebar...
  then select YOUR HOMEFOLDER ( For me, this is "luciadale" )
