Setup

– This is after the preface but before chapter one

An American Werewolf in London (1981)

Example files

Many examples and exercises in the book use text files that are available on the GitHub page of the

book. To access them you just need to clone the repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/bgutbook/bgutbook_files.git

If you don’t know how to use Git you can find many resources online, or you can download a zipped

version of the repository on the main page of the repository.

Linux users

If you are a Linux user you are basically already set up. The only thing you need to do is to download

the test files and make sure that you run examples and exercises inside the cloned directory.

Extract the archive in a directory of choice and reach it from your terminal. If you are using a

graphical environment like Gnome or KDE you can usually find a “Open terminal here” command

in the file browser. Otherwise you can just fire up a terminal (Konsole for KDE, GNOME terminal for

GNOME, or any other terminal emulator) and move to that directory with the following command

$ cd path/of/the/directory

Where path/of/the/directory is the full path of the repository that you cloned in the previous

section. Congratulations, you are ready to go!
