Many of the following exercises require some extra files on the BeagleBoard. These files are stored in a '''git''' repository. We'll learn more about using git later. Here I'll just show you how to get the files.

== Set Up Git ==

Go to [http://help.github.com/set-up-git-redirect github] and follow the directions for installing and setting up git. No need to set up your own repository right now (unless you want to).

I suggest you do this for both your host computer and your Beagle. On the Beagle use

beagle$ '''opkg update'''
beagle$ '''opkg install git'''
beagle$ '''opkg install openssh-keygen'''

The last opkg installs <code>ssh-keygen</code> which is needed to work with github.

On my host computer I had to run

host$ '''ssh-add id_rsa'''

after running <code>ssh-keygen</code> to get <code>ssh -T git@github.com</code> to work.

== Get the Files ==

It only takes one command to pull down all the files.

beagle$ '''git clone git@github.com:MarkAYoder/BeagleBoard-exercises.git exercises'''

This will take a while since it's getting all the course files, including pdf files of the course PowerPoint. You only have to clone once for each computer. I suggest you do the same on your host computer.

host$ '''git clone git@github.com:MarkAYoder/BeagleBoard-exercises.git exercises'''

Now take a look at what you got.

beagle$ '''cd exercises'''
beagle$ '''ls'''
beagle$ '''cd pptx'''
beagle$ '''ls'''

Later exercises will tell you which files to use from here.

If it's been a while since you did the clone it's a good idea to do a '''pull'''. This will make sure all the files are up to date.

beagle$ '''git pull'''

		+	Some later exercises will need the following additional git repositories. You don't have to load them now, the exercises will tell you when to do it.
		+
		+	This will load Big Buck Bunny and some other media.
		+	beagle$ '''cd ~/exercises/gstreamer'''
		+	beagle$ '''git clone git://github.com/MarkAYoder/esc-media.git'''
		+
		+	This load the things needed for using the DSP.

		+	beagle$ '''git clone git://github.com/MarkAYoder/c6run_build.git'''
