Appendix: Tools and Instructions

On the following pages you can find information on how to work with the Programming 2 exercises, how to start / install the Visual Studio Code editor or IntelliJ. Note that if you are using Windows 11 and have special characters/spaces in your user name this has caused problems for some VS Code+Metals users. In that case either install the Pre-release of Metals (see the trouble-shooting section) or use IntelliJ.

Make sure you can start your development environment, know how import an exercise round, and how to run programs and tests.

If you run into problems you can also ask for help during the exercise sessions and in the course workspace.

To learn more about getting help, look in the help section, and on MyCourses.
