WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.480 Let's talk about the prompt, understand what that is, and then we'll be able to 00:05.480 --> 00:09.040 start creating our Python environment. We'll be familiar enough with the 00:09.040 --> 00:15.800 terminal to understand what our commands, when we can execute our commands, and 00:15.800 --> 00:25.120 when we can't. Now, we've got our commands that we entered to the right 00:25.120 --> 00:36.200 here, and their response over here. But we know we can start typing in a 00:36.200 --> 00:41.880 command, and where our commands are, because of this prompt area. And this is 00:41.880 --> 00:48.160 some text that the computer is printing out in the terminal to say, here's the 00:48.160 --> 00:54.000 current situation. Here's your state. Now, what do you want to do with it? 00:54.240 --> 01:01.560 So let's talk about what this is. Now, it's a little different on Windows and 01:01.560 --> 01:06.400 Mac, but I'm going to type out approximately what it looks like on Windows. It 01:06.400 --> 01:14.040 should look on Windows something like this. It has the same base, and then it 01:14.040 --> 01:22.720 will say something like C, colon backslash, users backslash, your user name, 01:22.720 --> 01:30.400 for me, it's the user name, and for Noble Desktop. And then there'll be a 01:30.400 --> 01:34.840 little greater than symbol, and your cursor will be right there. So this is what 01:34.840 --> 01:42.120 your your prompt looks like by default on your on Mac OS, and here's what it 01:42.120 --> 01:47.120 looks like on Windows. And either way, your cursor will appear right after that. 01:47.120 --> 01:51.280 And that's how you know the terminals ready and waiting for you to enter a 01:51.280 --> 01:55.360 command. Let's talk about the different parts of this. There are two main parts 01:55.360 --> 02:03.440 that we'll concern ourselves with. One of this is this part over here that says 02:03.440 --> 02:11.200 base. That's actually telling you what Python environment you're currently 02:11.200 --> 02:16.960 working in. We're working in the base environment right now. And again, that 02:16.960 --> 02:21.680 appears on the start of the Windows one as well. And that tells you this is 02:21.680 --> 02:27.760 just the general all-purpose Python environment. And we'll get Python 02:27.760 --> 02:32.320 environment specific to data visualization in a little bit. Then after that we 02:32.320 --> 02:41.680 have on Mac OS, the user name for your account, and then an at symbol, and then 02:42.000 --> 02:48.800 the name of the computer you're on. In my case, nobles Mac Mini 5. 02:49.360 --> 02:58.400 On Windows, it's similar except, oh, and this symbol. And on Mac and Linux, this 02:58.400 --> 03:09.280 tilde means home means you're at your home. And on Mac OS, that home is pretty 03:09.280 --> 03:13.840 similar to what is on Windows. It means I'm in the home folder, the same one that 03:13.840 --> 03:18.560 has your desktop folder and your downloads and your documents and your 03:18.560 --> 03:23.280 pictures and videos folders, any of those. And if your basic comes with your 03:23.280 --> 03:31.440 hard disk folders, you're home folder. This symbol means home on Mac OS. 03:31.520 --> 03:39.680 So we have user name, computer name, and we're current directory, which in our 03:39.680 --> 03:44.000 case is just home, short into this home symbol. And then we have this little 03:44.000 --> 03:51.600 symbol meaning, okay, now start typing. Percent by default on Mac OS. Now on 03:51.600 --> 03:59.680 Windows, we have the same base meaning general Python environment. And then we 03:59.680 --> 04:05.680 have a slightly longer version of what the Mac OS said. Does not tell you what your 04:05.680 --> 04:12.160 username is, does not tell you what your computer name is, to skip this part 04:12.160 --> 04:18.240 entirely. And gives you a little bit more detail on your current directory, 04:18.240 --> 04:26.720 your current folder you're in. This is for Windows, the home folder. Specifically, 04:26.720 --> 04:31.680 it's on my C drive, which is your default like home directory, home part of 04:31.680 --> 04:38.480 your desk. And then the user's folder and then the end folder. Again, 04:38.480 --> 04:43.280 n for noble. And in that case, that's my username. 04:44.320 --> 04:49.520 So these are equivalent. I'm in my home folder. I'm in my home folder if it's on 04:49.520 --> 04:53.920 Windows. And then just like on Mac, when it's 04:53.920 --> 04:59.040 said percent symbol meaning, okay, now here's the symbol to separate your prompt, 05:00.240 --> 05:06.080 right, the prompt, then the percent symbol, then okay, now start typing your command. 05:06.080 --> 05:10.880 On Windows, it's here's all the prompt. And then there'll be a little greater than symbol 05:10.880 --> 05:14.960 in Anaconda prompt to say, okay, now you can start typing the new command. 05:17.120 --> 05:21.360 So that's the the prompt. And we're actually see all this information change to tell us what 05:21.360 --> 05:27.680 is the current state, what Python version are we working with, and what is our current directory. 05:27.680 --> 05:40.160 We'll see that change as we enter in the commands that will be entering in in the next part.
