Getting files into your folder (the basic way)

Open the QM Plus module page using your internet browser, and scroll down to the Week 1 tab - you should see a downloadable file under the heading Lab Notebook.

Find the file labelled week1-lab.ipynb (all Jupyter Notebook documents have the file extension ".ipynb") and right-click on the link. This will allow you to save the file to a chosen folder (save link as...).

Simply clicking on the link will usually open the notebook in a separate tab, but you won't be able to do anything with it.

You may want to make a folder to keep the lab notes in using the mkdir command on the command line, or just using the normal create folder options. You can also mv filename.ipynb mydir/ to move a notebook into a folder called mydir.

We are going to learn a more fancy way to get files using git in the next sections, but this is your backup method in case for some reason git doesn't work or you decide not to use it. All files will be available both in the git repo and on the QMUL Plus page.
