1

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,190

Hey hello again in this lecture I'll

show you how to download and install the

3

00:00:05,190 --> 00:00:11,309

Atom editor. Atom is a powerful and

very efficient editor for writing and

5

00:00:11,309 --> 00:00:18,510

executing Python code. This lecture is

specifically for windows, so for Mac

7

00:00:18,510 --> 00:00:24,869

users please go to the next lecture.

So before what we did was we installed

9

00:00:24,869 --> 00:00:30,660

Python and we tried a python interactive

session in the command prompt and we

11

00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:36,059

also created a python program using a

simple editor such as Notepad or

13

00:00:36,059 --> 00:00:40,860

whatever editor you had in on your

Windows, so now we're going to use

15

00:00:40,860 --> 00:00:45,570

another editor which is Atom and you

need to go and install it from and

17

00:00:45,570 --> 00:00:54,480

download it from the Atom official web

Page, just click the button there.

19

00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:01,800

Say file and it will take a while until it

downloads. Great, the download process

21

00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:08,100

has finished now so I'm going to click

on Atom, click on run to run

23

00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:16,380

the installation and yeah you have to wait a

while until Atom is installed.

25

00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:23,189

And yeah, the installation was quick and now Atom has

been opened on my Windows, however I would

27

00:01:23,189 --> 00:01:29,909

like to close it here and show you the

standard way of how to open Atom, so the

29

00:01:29,909 --> 00:01:35,670

way that you'd normally open Atom

when you start programming so one way to

31

00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:41,430

open Atom is to browse through your

programs and open Atom by clicking.

33

00:01:41,430 --> 00:01:48,630

However that we open atom in a random

directory so the most efficient way to

35

00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:53,790

open Atom is to go to the directory

where you have your programs so the

37

00:01:53,790 --> 00:01:58,920

program that we have is myprogram.py.

And then outside in here right click

39

00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,649

and go to open with Atom, but if you

don't see open with Atom like I do. so

41

00:02:04,649 --> 00:02:09,250

I don't have open with Atom for now,

then go and open Atom

43

00:02:09,250 --> 00:02:22,120

for your programs. Go to file, settings

and then check these two options so this

45

00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,250

options were under system, under the

system tab of the settings menu and I

47

00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:35,050

close Atom and I right click and now

you should see this menu in here. Open it

49

00:02:35,050 --> 00:02:41,620

and you should now see this view but if

you see, if you don't see the tree

51

00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:50,260

view in here, the directory tree view, go to

view and then toggle tree view so you can

53

00:02:50,260 --> 00:02:59,950

toggle it off and on. You can close this

and then to open your program, so to edit

55

00:02:59,950 --> 00:03:04,989

your program you simply double-click

your file your Python file and yeah, you

57

00:03:04,989 --> 00:03:13,209

start writing. Print. Start adding more

code and always press ctrl s to save and

59

00:03:13,209 --> 00:03:21,010

now to execute this code you can either

go here and open your command window

61

00:03:21,010 --> 00:03:26,830

here with Shift right click or there is a

more efficient way to do it. You need

63

00:03:26,830 --> 00:03:34,870

to go to file settings, packages, sorry

install, you want to install a new

65

00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:48,610

package and search for that platformio

67

00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:58,299

click install and so this is the package

that we will install or will integrate a

69

00:03:58,299 --> 00:04:04,510

terminal, a command line inside Atom so

you don't have to use external windows

71

00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:10,180

and native windows command line and you

can run your programs from within Atom.

73

00:04:10,180 --> 00:04:15,610

All right, platform ide terminal was

installed successfully, you can close the

75

00:04:15,610 --> 00:04:22,510

settings tab and so now you should see

this plus icon in here, click on the icon.

77

00:04:22,510 --> 00:04:26,870

Will open a new terminal so now this is

79

00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:32,030

opening the current directory which

reflects the directory of your Atom

81

00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:37,400

directory, so of your programs. Now you

can go ahead and type in commands you to

83

00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:43,880

run your Python program, so my tab for

auto completion and that will

85

00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,260

auto complete like that, don't worry about this.

This just means the current

87

00:04:48,260 --> 00:04:55,520

directory, so when you do Tab, Tab will

add this. Ignore it and press Enter and

89

00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:02,690

you see the program output in the

terminal. You can clear the terminal from

91

00:05:02,690 --> 00:05:07,970

the codes from previously executed

commands and of course you can call

93

00:05:07,970 --> 00:05:13,730

previously executed commands with the

upper arrow key. Execute again and don't

95

00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:21,380

confuse executing a program with opening

a Python interactive session, so here you

97

00:05:21,380 --> 00:05:28,880

write Python code like print 7 for

example interactively but if you exit

99

00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:36,229

this because I see some students will go

ahead and run Python code in here but

101

00:05:36,229 --> 00:05:43,820

this is wrong, this is not Python,

this is windows, the windows command line, so

103

00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:49,820

don't do that instead write Python code

inside an interactive session or inside

105

00:05:49,820 --> 00:05:54,020

the Python file. That's the idea and

this is Atom. I hope you like it

107

00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:57,160

and I'll talk to you later.
