Step 1: Install Python packages you will need for this project:
-
Open your Terminal tab (just to to right of your Console tab).
-
Run
uv syncin your Terminal (this may take several minutes to complete)
Note: uv sync uses uv, a popular Python package manager, to install Python packages included in the uv.lock file. You will see output in the Console indicating that Python packages are being installed. Wait for this to complete before proceeding.
Step 2: Open your first milestone file.
-
In the Explorer tab on the left, open the file
indexes_01_quarto_python-intro.qmd -
Follow the instructions in this file to complete the exercises
Once you have set up your project in Positron, you will have access to all of the milestone files for your project. However, we encourage you to only focus on the milestone corresponding to the current week of your Academy course.
Milestone files are numbered sequentially according to the week of the course. For example:
Week 1 = indexes_01_quarto_python-intro.qmd
Week 2 = indexes_02_quarto_python-wrangle.qmd
etc.
