Conversation
Updated README.md in root. Added tutorial directory. Added instructions for downloading Java for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Added instructions for installing Java on Windows and setting environment variables on Windows. Added instructions for downloading and running GlobalQuake.
Made " usage more consistent
So far looking very promising! |
Fixed format errors. Added Wikipedia lists to Debian and Redhat derivatives. Improved some things.
Clarified that installing could be different depending on OS/Desktop environment
Clarified it may as for password on linux ubuntu. Added RPM/fedora java install tutorial.
Hi! |
Yes I think it would be fine to merge. What else do you think needs doing? There's mac which I've set up #125 up for, but if there's anything else you think need adding ill make sure to. |
Surely, you can leave the MAC tutorial for another time / another person. |
Ah yea i complete forgot about the linux environment variables, ill get that done when i can get to an emulator. And ill add the link in the main readme to the tutorial readme. |
Quick question, how should the link be added, since the URL doesnt yet exist for me to add to the main read me? Should i just put 'link coming soon' or something like that? And then add the link when it gets merged? |
Added downloading section and clarified that the link to the tutorial is coming soon
Ah, you are right about the URL... don't worry, you can put "link coming soon" and I can add it later myself :D |
Sorry, I haven't followed this PR, will the Tutorial be added to the Repository Wiki or in a Website, if I read well? I think that using the wiki is much better. For reference wiki of ObsPy |
I think a wiki is a good idea, its a better place for end user documentation i think. Maybe this question would be better as an issue? |
Wiki definitely sounds like a great idea and I haven't even discovered this functionality yet :D |
I think that you can edit the wiki right away now. Perhaps create a new page called installation tutorial and paste it there? |
Sorry for the bit of delay for such a small outcome, but I think we don't need an environment variable tutorial for Linux since the way Linux handles packages, it just automatically knows where it is since it just installed since the package decides it (in /usr/, for ubuntu at least) unless they use a portable/Self compiled version, as opposed to windows where the user can decide where to install it. Also to be honest I think if someone is using Linux and they do use the portable version they probably know how to set this, or if they don't know (I'm also one of the people who doesn't 100% know...) how to look it up. So I think we can possibly leave this out. Maybe at least just for now and if people do have issues with it we could add it then. |
I finally got the time to merge your tutorial and integrate it with the current readme. Thanks a lot for your help and I hope many people in the future will find the tutorial helpful :) |
