These exercises were built in collaboration, we need you! If you find any bugs or misspells, please contribute and report them.

One click installation (recommended):

You can open these exercises in just a few seconds by clicking: Open in Codespaces (recommended) or Open in Gitpod.

Once you have VSCode open, the LearnPack exercises should start automatically. If the exercises don't run automatically, you can try typing on your terminal: $ learnpack start

Local Installation

Clone the repository in your local environment and follow the steps below:

1. Make sure you install LearnPack, node.js version 14+, and Python version 3+. This is the command to install LearnPack:

$ npm i learnpack -g
$ learnpack plugins:install learnpack-python

2. Start the tutorial/exercises by running the following command at the same level your learn.json file is:

$ pip3 install pytest==6.2.5 pytest-testdox mock requests toml
$ learnpack start

How are the exercises organized?

Each exercise is a small react application containing the following files:

1. app.py: represents the entry python file that will be executed by the computer.
2. README.md: contains exercise instructions.
3. test.py: you don't have to open this file, it contains the testing script for the exercise.

Note: The exercises have automatic grading, but they're very rigid and strict, my recommendation is to not take the tests too serious and use them only as a suggestion, or you may get frustrated.
