How to get the learning path

To retrieve the learning path, you can either

Clone the directory using git with the command

git clone https://github.com/simatic-ax/learning-path

This will create a new directory in the folder you executed the git clone from.

Download the repository as an archive

Click on Code in the gitlab repository overview and select one of the archive formats to download the entire repository. You then have to decompress the downloaded archive file with a tool like 7zip and are ready to go!

Prerequisites:

For the interactive slides, you need to have a few software packages installed to your PC:

• nodejs (which also installs npm) here you can download the installer for node.js for Windows
• Reveal.md (how to install it, is described below)

You can install Reveal.md using the command in a terminal npm install --global reveal-md.

Please note that this will install 3rd party executable files to your PC.

Starting the slides

For starting the slides, please navigate into the respective directory in the command line cd ./00_introduction and execute the command apax present. This will start reveal-md with the slides of the section you navigated to.
