Installation Guide

These pages should help you to get started setting up the computing environment on your machine ready for the course "Programming Practices for Research in Economics" at the University of Zurich in Fall 2017.

Please attempt to install necessary software and packages prior to the beginning of the course.

Summary

If everything goes smoothly, you should be able to complete the installation in one sitting within 60-120 minutes.
Please follow the steps one-by-one in the order they appear on the side bar and do not deviate from them, unless you really know what you are doing.
If you find any outdated links or unclear descriptions, email us at programming@econ.uzh.ch so that we can update the instructions or clarify as needed.
Where necessary, we have provided instructions for Mac, Windows and Linux machines.

Installation Help

Please try and install all the software before the course begins. If you are struggling we are able to help - but we expect you have tried to work through the guide yourself. Details of the Installation help session are found below:
