Note concerning your Computer's User Account Name:

In development, you will generally want to avoid using spaces in file and folder names with spaces in them because they can cause issues. Some tools can malfunction when dealing with such files and folders because they are looking for a single-word name. This applies to your computer's user account as well. If your user account has a space in it, such as "Jane Doe", then create a new user account at this time to use for your course that does not have a space in it, such as "JaneDoe". Make sure to set it up as an administrative account. This will prevent potential issues later in the course.

You only need to follow the below instructions if your current username includes a space otherwise Disregard.
