Day 1: Getting Set Up

On the first day of this project, a lot of setup is needed. We need to download many different things and create various different accounts on different websites to get ready for our project. This is a long and tedious process: it may take hours to download everything you need (it took me 2 hours but hopefully I can steer you in the right direction and shorten the time it takes!). Below are the steps you should take to get prepared for the project.

4. Read through the page and then click “Demo”
