Sorting out first-day hiccups
I’m writing this post to address the fact that we did not get as far as we would have liked to on the first day of the course. Luckily, many of you were able to get Docker Desktop installed and running. And those of you who didn’t in class, most were able to do so after class.
If you are still having trouble installing Docker Desktop, please reach out to me via email
However, we did not get to the point where we were able to run the first Docker container, nor were we able sign up for a Hypothes.is and GitHub account.
In order to get us back on track, please attempt to complete the following tasks before our next class on Friday, Jan 19th.
If you have any issues completing these tasks, please let me know.
1. Docker Desktop + RStudio
- Download the
francojc/lin-380image in Docker Desktop. - Run the
francojc/lin-380image in Docker Desktop.- Please note that you will need to follow the Getting started guide to set up the correct configuration for the container.
- Connect to the container running in Docker Desktop by visiting
localhost:8787in your browser.
These steps are documented in detail in the Getting started guide.
2. Hypothes.is account
- Create a Hypothes.is account
- Join the course group lin-380-s24
- Access the annotation layer on the readings (e.g textbook)
Save your Hypothes.is username and password somewhere safe. You will need it to log in to Hypothes.is to be able to annotate readings.
3. GitHub account
- Create a GitHub account
Save your GitHub username and password somewhere safe. You will need it to interact with GitHub.
