To be updated for 2023/24.

1. Make sure you are using the Firefox or Google Chrome browser, but not Microsoft Edge
2. Click on the Notable link just above here, i.e. the link that looks like this:
3. You will then be asked to select a personoal notebook server. You can select Standard Notebook (Python 3) and then click start. 

4. At the right, click on the +GitRepo link:

   

5. In the box entitled Git Repository URL, paste the link for the relevant lab. In the box entitled Branch delete "master" and replace it with "main" and click on Clone . You will find the link in that week's folder in Course Materials, e.g. the link in the Week 1 folder in Course Materials is https://github.com/Inf2-FDS/FDS-S1-01-introduction
6. After a few seconds you should find a folder called FDS-S1-01-introduction in the Files tab.
7. Click into that folder, and select FDS-S1-01-introduction.ipynb.

Noteable also offers the ability to open a Standard (Collaboration session) notebook in the Jupyterlab interface (available at step 2 above), which allows you to pair-program on two separate devices at the same time. See the Noteable documentation at https://noteable.edina.ac.uk/documentation/collab-editing/ for how to do this. Please note, that this will allow the other student to see all your files but only edit the contents of this directory (and in the case of a notebook, only edit but not execute the code). For this reason it is more geared towards remote real-time collboration.

We recommend pair-programming in person where two students can share a lab machine / laptop and take turns to be the driver and navigator (outlined in the lab instructions handout).
