Workshop Guide ::

Welcome to the tutorial! By the end of this tutorial, this webpage will be yours! Yay!

Before the Workshop⌗

Make sure you have done the following before you arrive. If something doesn’t work, come early and we’ll sort it out.

Find 1-2 webpages of scholars that you like. Consider: What info do they give about themselves? How do they list their publications, interests, etc?

Attention: if you’re on a MacBook, I suggest first installing Homebrew and then using it to install these things.

VSCodium — your code editor (free, open-source version of VS Code)
Hugo — the tool that will “build” your site. Follow the instructions for your operating system on that page. (Once again, if Mac use the homebrew instructions!)
Git — version control. Follow the instructions for your operating system.
GitHub Desktop — a visual interface for Git. After installing, sign in with your GitHub account.
KiloCode — First, open VSCodium: open VSCodium. Then click the Extensions icon (left sidebar, looks like four squares forming a bigger square) → search “Kilo Code” → Install

Go through each item below. If any of them fail, try to solve it a bit before coming to our meetup (e.g. use a search engine or ask UvA AI Chat).

Check	How to test
VSCodium opens	Launch it — you should see the editor
GitHub Desktop opens	Launch it — you should be logged in to your GitHub account
KiloCode is ready	Open VSCodium → click the robot icon → you should see a chat box and your model selected

Then, using the terminal:

Check	How to test
Hugo is installed	Open a terminal and type `hugo version` — you should see a version number
Git is installed	Open a terminal and type `git --version` — you should see a version number

If all is good, you’re ready for the workshop! Yay!
