To do so we will create the folder "bin" in your home directory and add the bin to your path such that wherever you are your computer can always find Quanty. The first thing to do is to change to directory to your home (cd ~ [enter]). Next you create the folder bin in your home (mkdir bin [enter]). The last thing you do in the terminal is to add the program Quanty to your path (echo -e '\nexport PATH="~/bin:\$PATH"\n' >> .bashrc [enter]). You can test if the file .bashrc is correct by typing (open -t .bashrc [enter]). An other option to see your search path is to type (echo $PATH [enter]).

-===== Example =====+### 
 +The last thing to do is to copy the program into your bin. For this you can use finder. From the terminal you can type (open bin -a Finder) and then drag and drop the program you downloaded into the folder bin.

-<code Quanty Example.Quanty> + 
--- some example code +### 
-</code>+In order to run Quanty from the terminal you type Quanty followed by an enter. If you do so the program will place a small amount of text on your screen and then complain that it has nothing to do. If you want a real calculation you have to give Quanty a set of instructions as input. These are saved in text files and given as second argument in the terminal. For example you can type in the terminal: 
 +### 
 + 
 +### 
 +echo 'print("Hello World")' > MyFirstQuantyProgram.Quanty 
 +### 
 + 
 +### 
 +and then: 
 +### 
 +### 
 +Quanty MyFirstQuantyProgram.Quanty 
 +### 
 + 
 +### 
 +In order to do more elaborated calculations modify the input file. (open -t MyFirstQuantyProgram.Quanty [enter])

 +===== Find the documentation ===== 
 + 
 +### 
 +Once this command works it is time to go to the [[documentation:basics:basis|basic examples in the documentation]] pages and learn how to set up a Quanty file. You can download all examples you see on the web page from the tutorials you can find online for the [[workshop:heidelberg:september_2018:programme|workshop in Heidelberg]]. For completeness you can also download a zip file with a set of tutorials for version 1 of Quanty http://www.quanty.org/QuantyDoc.zip.
