Installing on Linux

Tip: To avoid errors, instead of typing the commands below, select and copy them from this page and paste them into the terminal.

WSL: Remember that opening a terminal means to open a PowerShell and enter wsl.

1. Open a new terminal. Do not use an already opened terminal.

2. Enter python3.12 -V to check if you have Python 3.12. If you get an error message like ‘command not found’:
   • Enter sudo apt install python3.12 or similar. (Search online for instructions for your Linux distribution.)

3. If you’re using a Debian-based distribution like Ubuntu, enter sudo apt install python3.12-venv or similar.

4. If you installed Python in step 2, close the terminal and open a new one.

5. Enter cd <M269 folder path>, e.g. cd ~/OU/m269-25j, to go to your M269 folder. (~ is a shorthand for your home folder.)
   • WSL: If your M269 folder is e.g. on C:\OU\m269-25j then you must enter cd /mnt/c/OU/m269-25.

6. Enter curl -LO https://github.com/dsa-ou/m269-installer/raw/main/install.sh to download the installation script.

7. Enter chmod +x install.sh to allow the installation script to run.

8. Enter ./install.sh to run the installation script.

9. WSL: For JupyterLab to open correctly, enter these commands in the terminal.
   • echo -e "\nexport BROWSER='/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe'" >> ~/.bashrc
   • echo "c.NotebookApp.use_redirect_file = False " >> ~/.jupyter/jupyter_lab_config.py
10. Close the terminal.

You will have these files in your M269 folder:

• install.sh: the installation script
• requirements.txt: the list of M269 software
• custom.css: the style changes to Jupyter notebooks

Tip: Do not remove these files, so that you can re-install the software, if needed.
