00:00.090 --> 00:00.640
All right.

00:00.780 --> 00:05.450
So in this video we're going to go over the specifics of setting up cloud nine.

00:05.760 --> 00:11.650
Now just to recap Cloud 9 is the cloud based developer environment.

00:11.670 --> 00:18.780
So what that means is that it contains everything you need to create applications and have databases

00:19.260 --> 00:27.000
basically a terminal alongside of a text editor all in one inside of your browser so that you can instantly

00:27.000 --> 00:27.420
get.

00:27.420 --> 00:30.520
And I know I sound a bit like a marketing shell for Cloud 9.

00:30.520 --> 00:33.510
A promise I'm not we don't have any sort of zeal.

00:33.750 --> 00:34.710
I wish we did.

00:34.860 --> 00:39.620
But what it lets you do is get something going really quickly and very very painlessly.

00:39.960 --> 00:43.350
So the first step is to sign up for an account.

00:43.410 --> 00:50.190
So if you visit the euro C9 IO or you click on the link in the description but it's a pretty short u

00:50.190 --> 00:51.680
r l c.

00:51.710 --> 00:57.550
I know you should see this page if it's your first time visiting if you don't already have an account.

00:57.780 --> 01:03.120
If you already have an account from another course you can wait until the next step or recreate our

01:03.180 --> 01:04.380
new workspace.

01:04.680 --> 01:08.470
So if you don't have an account all you have to do is enter your e-mail.

01:08.580 --> 01:10.260
Sign up.

01:10.560 --> 01:14.110
You'll have to fill in some information.

01:14.220 --> 01:15.160
Pick a username

01:17.840 --> 01:21.370
choose the kind of developer that you are.

01:21.500 --> 01:23.880
Choose how you'll use cloud 9.

01:23.930 --> 01:25.340
Click next.

01:25.340 --> 01:28.130
Make sure your details are correct.

01:28.130 --> 01:31.770
Now this is where some people may panic but don't panic.

01:31.790 --> 01:34.240
It asks you for credit card information.

01:34.310 --> 01:37.690
Now if you notice here it does say that you will not be charged.

01:37.910 --> 01:43.730
So there is a perfectly functional free tier of cloud nine but you do have to have a credit card to

01:43.730 --> 01:45.380
sign up this way.

01:45.380 --> 01:50.300
Now as I said don't panic because if you don't have a credit card which I know a sizable number of my

01:50.300 --> 01:54.710
students actually don't have credit cards they you may come from a country where credit cards aren't

01:54.710 --> 01:56.450
as prevalent.

01:56.630 --> 02:01.670
You may be too young to have a credit card or you just may not have one for some other reason and that's

02:01.670 --> 02:02.350
totally fine.

02:02.360 --> 02:05.200
It's not a barrier to using Cloud 9.

02:05.270 --> 02:07.460
It's a little bit of a tiny hurdle.

02:07.460 --> 02:08.940
So there is a workaround.

02:09.410 --> 02:14.130
So cloud 9 offers educational accounts for teachers and instructors.

02:14.330 --> 02:21.050
And what that allows me to do are allows you to do is to sign up without having to use a credit card.

02:21.050 --> 02:28.910
Now the only problem is that I have to manually add you in as a student under my educational workspace.

02:28.910 --> 02:33.950
So again it does take a bit more time because either me or one of the teaches will have to manually

02:33.950 --> 02:36.190
add you in but we're committed to doing that.

02:36.380 --> 02:40.450
We want to make sure that everyone can follow along even if you don't have a credit card.

02:40.490 --> 02:46.100
Now if you have a credit card I do recommend that you just fill this out because you will not be charged

02:46.720 --> 02:48.100
and it's just going to be faster.

02:48.140 --> 02:52.350
You won't have to wait for me to wake up in the morning and check the discussion boards on to me.

02:52.370 --> 02:54.260
You'll just be able to get started right now.

02:54.500 --> 02:59.780
So once you filled all that information in and completed the sign up process you should see a screen

02:59.780 --> 03:04.460
like this although you won't have any of these workspaces here.

03:04.870 --> 03:09.500
So on cloud nine when you create a new workspace what you're actually doing is creating a new developer

03:09.500 --> 03:13.720
environment separate partitioned off environment that you can work in.

03:13.910 --> 03:17.620
So actually you can see here I have a couple of different environments going.

03:17.750 --> 03:21.620
Some of these I use all the time like the one for my Web Dev Bootcamp course.

03:21.890 --> 03:28.120
Some of them are just you know here's a test that I made to see how a ruby environment works in cognized

03:28.550 --> 03:33.250
Or here's one where I installed my as well which is what we'll be doing in just a moment.

03:33.290 --> 03:37.250
So Step two is to actually go ahead and create a workspace.

03:37.430 --> 03:43.350
So we click Create a new workspace and you're welcome to call your workspace whatever you want.

03:43.670 --> 03:52.500
I'm going to call it My sequel underscore of course and then I'll go ahead and set it to be public.

03:52.570 --> 03:56.650
It's up to you if you want your work to be private or public but you don't really need to worry about

03:56.680 --> 03:59.700
anybody seeing what you're doing anyways.

03:59.890 --> 04:01.500
But if you do want to make it private.

04:01.500 --> 04:03.640
That is how cloud 9 makes some of their money.

04:03.760 --> 04:05.360
I'm going to make mine public.

04:05.530 --> 04:09.030
Then we have these templates down here that we can choose from.

04:09.040 --> 04:16.120
So there are these presets that allow us to create a new developer environment really quickly and that

04:16.120 --> 04:17.970
doesn't really matter for us in this case.

04:18.040 --> 04:21.820
So you can pick any of them but I recommend you just pick him all five.

04:21.820 --> 04:23.500
It's a simple one.

04:23.500 --> 04:26.260
Basically it's going to be an empty workspace for us.

04:26.410 --> 04:29.480
So then we click Create workspace.

04:29.720 --> 04:37.520
We wait a little bit and wait a little more.

04:37.850 --> 04:41.360
And finally once it's done you should see something like this.

04:41.750 --> 04:44.190
So that's it for this video in the next video.

04:44.210 --> 04:47.390
We're going to talk about what this interface means and how we navigated.
