1.2 Setting up Your Programming Environment (IDE)

00:00

Hi and welcome back to the course.

00:02

Now, In the last video, we went over a quick intro to our course and the core structure. And in this video, we're gonna be talking about setting up our programming environment or also known as our integrated development environment, to which we will be referring as our i d. From now on.

00:19

So what is an I? D to begin

00:23

and I d is essentially a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for softer development. So just think of it as an environment in simple words, an environment that allows you to run and write, as well as something called debug Your Code.

00:42

Now here are some features of an I. D. It comes with a source code editor, build automation tools and something called 80 bugger, which I mentioned just a few seconds ago.

00:54

A de bugger is a program that helps you essentially find and

00:59

fix errors in your code, and this practice is called the Buggy, and the program that helps you do that is called a debunker.

01:07

Now, some of the ideas out there are Microsoft Visual Studio, and that means

01:14

and Pedram, which is used for the programming language of python.

01:19

Okay, so in our course, we will be using an I D called intelli J.

01:23

And

01:25

until he J is used for Java development specifically And this is how it looks

01:32

Now, at this moment, I would like you to go ahead and open up any window and type in the search bar in Kelly J.

01:42

Now, when you type in intelli J, go ahead and click on the first link that you arrive at.

01:48

And when you're at the homepage, uh, you will see a download putting and to take a two button, feel free to click the take it to a button and just see what intelligent is and how it works. But for now, we're gonna go ahead and click on download.

02:06

Once you arrive on the download. Plage, there are basically two versions of intelligent. One is the ultimate version, and one is the community version. And for us, we will be downloading the community version since we're not an enterprise and an ultimate version is more for enterprise and Web development.

02:27

So go ahead and first select your, uh, corresponding operating system and then click on download

02:38

now Once you click on download, it should start downloading. So I'm gonna go ahead and pause the video here and let it download. And once it's done downloading, we will continue from that point on.

02:54

Okay. So hopefully your software should have downloaded by now. And now I would like you to click on the download, uh, link.

03:06

So once you click on the download over here, it'll open up a wizard,

03:13

And before that, you might get a pop up and just click Yes to that.

03:17

Okay. So ah, here. We're just gonna continue clicking next and keep the default values

03:28

continue to click next.

03:30

Next

03:31

install.

03:32

So again, I'm gonna pause the video here and just let it install, and then we'll continue from there.

03:40

So your software should have finished downloading by now. And you will be at this final screen. Just click finish.

03:49

Okay. Once you click finish, I would like you to go ahead and search for intelligent A in your search bar, or either open it up through your desktop shortcut.

04:01

So here, once intelligent, they starts up, we have an option to select a specific you. I theme. You can either go with the dark theme or the letter thing. I personally prefer the darker theme because it's more easier to my eyes and more comfortable for me to Cohen and program. But you Congar ahead and pick whichever one you like.

04:20

So from here with a grin, a click next

04:27

and just skip remaining and set defaults,

04:32

and that's gonna start up

04:34

intelli J to its final stage.

04:39

Okay, so that's the window you're gonna be landing at. And here you have a few options to create a new project, important project open a project or an option here to check out from version control. So I'm gonna go ahead and leave this video right here because in the next video, we will be going ahead. And creating

04:59

are very

05:00

first job a program,

05:01

so that should have completed your installation. Now going back to our course material just to summarize everything we did in this lecture or lab. We covered

05:14

what 90 is examples of ID's and setting up your i D.
