Setting up your environment
- [Instructor] So what do you need to start this course? You'll need access to GitHub and a coding environment with Python. You should be familiar with both these tools before getting started. For this course, we'll be using GitHub Codespaces, a cloud-based development environment. Let's see how it works. I'm going to open up LinkedIn Learning on GitHub and look for my course. We're going to search for building apps with AI, and we can see it right here. Let's click on it. So this is our GitHub Repository. We can see here that we have branches with the different course videos. So let's go ahead and switch to 00_02. And to get to Codespaces, I'm going to click on Code, and I can either create a new codespace, or I can open up an existing codespace. So I have one running here. So let's click the three dots, say Open in browser. Now this is going to open up GitHub Codespaces, which is very similar to Visual Studio Code. Now I'm in here on my branch, 00_02. It's pretty empty. I have some configuration files here and .gitignore open. Now let's double-check that we have Python open. I just checked before that I do, but let's check again. Let's type in which python. So once we've confirmed we have Python open, we're all ready to go. We're ready to code in GitHub Codespaces and start building with AI.
