===Download the Wikipedia API project===

* Right click the following file, click "Save Target as..." or "Save link as...", and save it to your Desktop directory: 
https://github.com/CommunityDataScienceCollective/wikipedia-cdsw/archive/master.zip

* The ".zip" extension on the above file indicates that it is a compressed Zip archive. We need to "extract" its contents. To do this, click on "Start", then "Computer" on Windows or open Finder and navigate to your Desktop directory if you are a Mac. Find <code>wikipedia-cdsw-master.zip</code> on your Desktop and double-click on it to "unzip" it. That will create a folder called <code>wikipedia-cdsw-master</code> containing several files.

===Test the Wikipedia API code===

Startup your jupyter notebook [[Python_in_Jupyter| as usual]]. Using jupyter open in your browser, navigate to the <code> wikipedia-cdsw-master</code> folder that you saved on your Desktop and open <code>wikipedia-test-anon_nonanon.ipynb</code>.

Run all the cells in the notebook.  Cell 4 should take some time and output messages like <code>pulling data iteration 0</code>. Cell 5 should output a dictionary of IP addresses and counts and cell 6 should output a dictionary of user names and counts.  

If you don't get this output or see any error messages ask a mentor for help right away.
