Permissions (what user accounts on your computer are allowed to access, edit, etc. various files) differ from person to person, but if you ever enter a command and get a message that you're not allowed or don't have permission to run that command, try entering the same command except prefaced with the word sudo plus a space. If the command xcode-select -install returned a message that you don't have permission to execute that command, for example, you would instead try entering sudo xcode-select -install. Type your computer's password and press enter when prompted to do so. (This lets your computer know you have permission to execute this code.) In general, permission defaults are around for a purpose, and a lot of permissions are tied to the root/admin user to make them hard for anyone not sure what they do to accidentally open their computer to risks, but it should be safe to use sudo for any command in this lesson.

I searched the linked page for this phrase and couldn't find it... took me a minute to realize JDK = Java Development Kit.

There is a slight difference for Windows 10, Start Menu -> Windows System -> Control Panel...

It can not be located through the Windows 10 settings interface.

Remember Mac Users: you need to use ./bin/mallet import-dir --help

It was not immediately apparent to me that this is in the left hand column and not the main spreadsheet.

Link is definitely broken.

Sometimes, it doesn't. It will be running, but you will need to point your browser to this address:

127.0.0.1:3333

The 127.0.0.1 is your home machine (also known as localhost, while the :3333 is the port that open refine is serving up at.

Starting with a random search result from the British Museum's collection, I worked backwards and was able to construct my own SPARQL query using this as a template of sorts.

# My Edited SPARQL Query

# To run the prefix ecrm, you must include CIDOC-CRM Ontology
PREFIX ecrm: <http://erlangen-crm.org/current/>
PREFIX skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#>
SELECT ?object
WHERE {

# Searching for all objects that have a common "person or institution"
  ?object ecrm:P51_has_former_or_current_owner ?person_institution .

  ?object_type skos:prefLabel "print" .
}

Some of my students were finding (chiefly on Windows machines) that they needed the -m flag, eg

python -m pip install pymarc to call pip successfully.

Give this a try if you're on windows https://sites.google.com/site/pydatalog/python/pip-for-windows

We've found that we get an error message to the effect that we do not have permission to write. See https://twitter.com/electricarchaeo/status/696703569337176064

this line is throwing an error on Windows 10 systems, to do with character encoding.

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character

From googling around, this seems to be an issue in the console window for the command prompt. This thread might be useful towards a solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32694994/utf-8-on-windows-python

this needs to be indented

Something that would be nice to have is perhaps a suggested progression or path through the tutorials towards different end goals.

This might be a good place to link out to some comparisons of Python 2.x vs 3.x, including the overlap. I'm new to both versions, which is why I'm shopping this tutorial, but I found this page helpful:

http://python-notes.curiousefficiency.org/en/latest/python3/questions_and_answers.html

In particular, the section on why it might now make sense to learn Python 3 first, and Python 2 as a follow-up, convinced me that I should probably follow that advice. So maybe I'll be back! But I'll probably head over to a different tutorial for the time being.
