----------------------- | |
0) Install the GNU wget utility with homebrew. The | |
homebrew executable is called 'brew' and it's in your | |
path. | |
1) The source code for Python 3.2 is located at: | |
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.2/Python-3.2.tar.bz2 | |
Only use the command line to download, configure, and | |
install it to ~/bin and put Python 3.2 in yo2 | |
HINTS: | |
a) use 'wget' to download the source. | |
b) Use 'tar' to unarchive. tar needs the -j option | |
to unarchive bz2 files. | |
c) The basic command to configure a source package in | |
UNIX is running ./configure in the project root | |
directory. You might have to add a few command | |
line options to configure your installation. | |
d) Use the 'make' command to compile | |
e) To install the binaries, use 'make install' | |
2) Make your Bash prompt display the current time. | |
Remember, if you modify ~/.bash_profile, you have to | |
execute it before it takes effect. | |

prompt formatting: | |

Then, commit that change to the 'chris' branch. | |
HINT: the only two programs you need to use are git | |
