General instructions - swvanderlaan/slideToolKit GitHub Wiki

These are some general instructions on how to use this wiki.

slideToolKit is a set of scripts that requires other programs and libraries to run. Here we explain the dependencies and show instructions on how to install these dependencies, and the general usage of the various tools of slideToolKit. The required dependencies can change and might break your current slideToolKit installation, and therefore be careful with updating systems, or at the very least consider using a virtual environment within anaconda.

Please tell us if you run into problems, it is likely we can help you out, we have done this before ;)

I tried to create as few steps as possible with one-liners that are easy to read. Most of the installation is done using the command-line. You can copy/paste each example command, per block of code. For some steps you need administrator privileges, except in the case of using anaconda. Follow the steps in consecutive order.

these `mono-type font` illustrate commands illustrate terminal commands. You can copy & paste these.

To make it easier to copy and paste, long commands that stretch over multiple lines are structered as follows:

Multiline commands end with a dash \
	indent 4 spaces, and continue on the next line. \
	Copy & paste these whole blocks of code.

Although we made it easy to just select, copy and paste and run these blocks of code, it is not a good practice to blindly copy and paste commands. Try to be aware about what you are doing. And never, never run sudo commands without a good reason to do so.
