The command line is fun, I promise!

Let's do some fun stuff on the command line! This is a lot of "figuring out what to do" as opposed to "applying skills we learned in class." It will definitely make you feel uncomfortable and like you don't know anything, but that's okay!

Do these in any order you want. Be sure to check out the very last one, it's crazy.

A general tip: When you're searching around on the internet, pip install has a hundred ways of being talked about. python3 -m pip install and pipx install and pip3 install anything that vaguely looks like that can probably just be substituted with pip install.

ChatGPT can be really helpful for figuring out the specific command-line flags and arguments you need to get your CLI tools operating how you want them to. Unless you're using ffmpeg and convert every day of your life, memorizing exactly how these command-line tools work is prrrrrobably not the best use of your brainpower.

Command line fun hints and tips

Installation

NOTE: Windows users will use scoop install instead of brew. Even if the docs say use choco, scoop is a better package manager than chocolatey!!!

Workflow checks

Maybe you styled a map in illustrator to look a certain way - the markers all have nice unique colors, opacity, etc etc. And then you plugged it into your scrollytelling piece: looking good so far.

On step 2 of your piece you want to change those markers: make them all yellow! Highlight them! #FFF880 is my favorite yellow highlight color. That's fine, normally you'd just do this to transition to the highlight color:

d3.selectAll("[data-name='africa'] path")
    .transition()
    .attr('fill', '#FFF880')

	# 2. Download and extract the ZIP file
