- get a vm 4:11 - 4:14
- configure a resource 4:14 - 4:23
- Running the terminal in a different window is weird, especially since it's a browser window and not my terminal and I have to keep context-switching in between the two.
- It tells me to create a file and edit its contents and save it, which assumes that I know how to do all of these things from a unix shell or a linux desktop. If you're running in the console you can do
gedit hello.rb &
which gives a nice editor. Maybe we should make this the default. - It says, "From your terminal window, run chef-apply to apply what you've written.", but below it says to run "chef-apply hello.rb". If you just run
chef-apply
, you get "TypeError: no implicit conversion of nil into String", which isn't very friendly. The commands should match and the error output should say something that makes sense.
- configure a package and a service 4:24 - 4:30
- Maybe the desktop should just have the icons for the things we're using on it
