In this lesson I'm going to show you how
to install all the applications that we
require for this course. The applications
we're going to install are git SCM,
VirtualBox, Vagrant,
Atom editor, and the mod headers chrome
extension. All five of these applications
are available for Windows, Linux or Mac,
so you can follow along in the course
regardless of which operating system
you're using. I'm going to be
demonstrating how to install these
applications on a Windows machine but it's
super easy to install and you should be
able to install it on your own operating
system if you're using Linux or Mac. So
let's start by installing git SCM. Load
up the Chrome browser and head over to
git-SCM.com, on the home page click on
the download for Windows button and this
will take you to the download page and
automatically start the download. Let's
wait for that to finish and then we'll
continue on with the next steps once the
download is finished. Click the installer
to start the installation, on the user
account control screen click on yes to
approve it and then on the information
screen click on next. You can leave the
select destination location screen as
default and click Next and you can also
leave the select components screen as
default and click on next. Leave the
select Start menu folder default and
click Next. On this screen on Windows
you're going to want to check this last
box here so use git and optional UNIX
tools from Windows command prompt. We
check that so that git installs some of
the UNIX tools that we're going to need
later on in the course. If we're using a
Mac or Linux then you don't need to
worry about this because it already
comes with the installed UNIX tools that
we need. So make sure the use git and
optional UNIX tools in the windows
command prompt is checked and click Next.
Then leave the choosing HTTP transport
backend page default, click Next
you can leave the line ending
settings as default and click on next. On
the terminal emulator page click Next
and leave these two checked and enable
symbolic links unchecked and
click on install. Git will now be
installed on the system. So let's wait for
that installation to complete and then
we'll continue. Once the installation
completes you can uncheck the view
release notes and click finish.
Now we're going to test that it's been
installed correctly by clicking start
and searching for git bash, click on
the git bash desktop app to load it up.
If you're on Linux or Mac you can just
load up the terminal and type git to
check that it's been installed. We can
see that the git bash has been installed
so it looks like git has been
successfully installed on our Windows
machine. So let's close that off and next
let's install VirtualBox. Go back to the
browser and head over to virtualbox.org.
On the VirtualBox homepage click on this
huge download button here and then
download the one that's relevant for
your machine. So we're using Windows so
I'm going to download the one for
Windows hosts and let's wait for that
download to complete and we'll continue.
Ok so once the download completes click
on the VirtualBox installers to start
the installation. On the welcome screen
click on next on the custom setup screen
click Next.
On the custom setup screen part 2
leave it all default and click Next. On
the network interfaces warning click on
yes and then finally click install to
start the installation. When the user
account control screen pops up click yes
to approve and we'll wait for VirtualBox
to install and then we'll continue. Ok so
once it's installed you can
leave the start Oracle VM VirtualBox
checked and click finish. We'll just let
VirtualBox start up so we can see that
it's been installed successfully. Ok so
it looks like VirtualBox is there, now
let's move on to installing the next
application vagrant. So close off the
VirtualBox and go back to the browser
and head over to vagrantup.com. On the
vagrant home page click on the download
button and then choose the one that's
relevant for
your operating system. So again we're using
Windows so I'm going to download the one
for Windows. Now we'll wait that download
to complete and then we'll continue. Once
the vagrant Installer is downloaded
let's click on it to start the
installation. On the welcome screen click
Next, on the License screen the end-user
License Agreement you want to read this
thoroughly and then click on I accept.
Click Next. In the location to install
Vagrant 2 just leave it the default and
click on next.
Finally click install to start the
installation. When the user account
control screen pops up click yes to
approve and then we'll wait for the
download or we wait for the installation
to finish. Okay so once vagrant is
installed click on finish and it's going
to ask you to restart your system. I'm
going to click yes to restart now. Once
your machine is restarted let's load up
the git bash or the terminal if you're on
Linux or Mac and check that vagrant has
been installed.
The Vagrant's website pops up here so
I'm just going to close that off. Alright
so once you're in the git bash type
vagrant version and hit enter. This will
tell you the version of vagrant that's
installed on the system. It can take a few
seconds to run the first time you run it.
You can see here that we have the latest
version 1.9.3 installed. So vagrant is
successfully installed. Let's move on to
the next application and install atom on
the system. Now atom is the easiest
application to install. Just load up
chrome and again head over to the
website atom.io and click on
download windows 64-bit installer and
we'll wait for that download to finish
and then we'll install atom.
Once the atom installer is downloaded
click it to start the installation.
Now that's all you need to do to install
atom. Once you click it it will
automatically start the installation and
it will install on the system without us
having to click anything else so let's
just wait for that to finish and then
we'll check that it's been installed
successfully. Alright once atom is
installed it will automatically load up.
So we can see atom has been installed
correctly, let's close off atom and then
move on to the final application and
install mod headers. Mod headers is a Chrome
extension, so you want to make sure you
have google chrome, a recent version of
google chrome installed on the system.
Once you've got chrome head over to
Google and we're going to search for mod
headers. You can see the top result here
is the mod header extension in the
Chrome Web Store so click on that to
load it and once you're on the Chrome
Web Store all you need to do is click
this add to Chrome button. When it asks
if you want to add mod header click on
add extension. And that's it, mod header
is installed on the system. Ok so that's
all the applications that you need to
install to follow on in this course.
Thank you so much for watching, I hope
you found it useful and I'll see you in
the next lesson.
