This is the way we can put our Exercise Files in here, so I'm going to go to my Desktop, and Exercise Files, and I just leave that selected, so that Exercise Files there is highlighted, and I select Open, and this will open up the Exercise Files here in my Directory Pane, and that is the way that I want that, and then I can open these up, and I see the files for my various chapters in my Exercise Files. And then, you'll click on the gear here and say Open Directory. You want to select the Directory button to display the directories. There's the Open Files button and the Directory button. And, over here, on the Directory side, you notice there's two buttons.

KOMODO EDITOR FOR MAC ARCHIVE
You probably don't have that Archive folder. I had installed this before, and moved some of the stuff to the Archive folder. You probably have a bunch more things here than I have. We'll close the right one a little bit later. There's the right pane, the bottom pane, and we're just going to open all these up for now.

Now, for our purposes, because this screen is so small, you may not need to do this, you've probably got a larger screen than I do, but this is small for recording purposes, I'm going to Opt + click the green button there to maximize, and up here at the top, you'll see these pane buttons. And now I can run Komodo Edit from my dock. For convenience, I'm going to open up Applications here, and I'm going to find the Komodo editor, there it is, and I'm going to drop that on my dock, and eject this, pressing Control and the mouse button. I've already downloaded the installer to my desktop, so I'll just double-click here on the DMG file for Komodo Edit, and drag the app into my Applications folder.
KOMODO EDITOR FOR MAC DOWNLOAD
On the other hand, for our purposes, we're going to use the free version, which is called Edit, and you can download it with this download button. There's a nice little comparison down here that you can look at, and, you know, if you're going to use a lot of these features, then it's probably worth it to spend $100 for personal use. Now, Komodo IDE is the pay-for-it version of the Komodo editor, costs $100 for personal use. One of them says Try Komodo IDE and one is says Download Edit. So, here at /komodoedit, we find the Download page, and you'll notice that there's two download buttons. This editor is designed for use with Perl, and it's provided by one of the leading providers of Perl for desktop systems. For this course, I'm using the free version of the Komodo editor from ActiveState.
