=== Special Steps for people using Mac OS 10.15 === | |||

If you are using MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) or above, you will need to configure the system to recognize Anaconda. You can find out which version of MacOS you have: you can click the Apple menu icon at the top left corner of your screen and then select the “About This Mac” command. | |||
If the version number says '''10.15 or higher''' it means you have a pretty new computer (congratulations on that). It also means that you will need to have to do an additional step. It might be a good idea to raise your hand and ask a mentor for help with this part. | |||
To do so, open Terminal.app (either using Command-space or opening '''Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app''' and entering the following: | |||
<nowiki>./opt/anaconda3/bin/conda init zsh | |||
</nowiki> | |||
You should end up with something like this: | |||

Once you're done, you can quit Terminal (either with Command-Q or the menu option '''Terminal > Quit Terminal'''). | |||
