So I'm going to start off at the very beginning. As we build out our web applications and our mobile applications, we are going to be using Google Chrome for that as a browser. So if you do not have Google Chrome installed, then I'm gonna walk through installing that. If you already do have it installed, then you can simply skip ahead onto the next lecture.

So you can go in and type Google Chrome if you're on Edge. I'm doing this, I've completely wiped my entire computer so my entire PC has been wiped from scratch so I'm starting from scratch. So let's download this.

So you can go to the very first one, Download and install Google Chrome and you can click on Download the installation file.

Download Chrome, Accept and Install.

And then select Run.

So this is going to install it on the system. You may or may not have another window that pops up. If you look down here where it says Google Update is happening, then that's gonna pop up another window and it may black out your entire screen. Just click Yes, you may or may not be able to see that because I'm working on a pretty large screen so you may not be able to see every part of that but the download is complete. So now it's simply running through. It's installing all the drivers, all of those things.

Now the reason why I'm using Google Chrome as opposed to one of the other browsers is because of the developer tool. So we're gonna walk through how to work with the developer tools but I'll give you a quick preview of them right here. So if I right-click anywhere on the screen but specifically right around the text and click Inspect,

then right here, you can see I have the developer tools

and I'm going to be able to expand these a little bit more. So I can hit Control and then the plus sign to make these look larger so it's easier for you to see on the screen.

And then I'm also going to be able to change where these pop up. So if I click on these three dots and change it to this, so now it's below.

Now you can see, I can see this entire application.

So if I come and click on Make Chrome your own again, you can see that we actually have access to all of this data here.

Now, we're not able to change on the server-side, we're not able to hack into their site like that but as we're building out our own applications, this is gonna give us the ability to be able to make changes. So I can even double click on this where it says Make Chrome your own, I can say Hi from Bottega just like this and you can see that that's been reflected on the site.

So that's the reason why we're downloading Chrome because as you go throughout the entire program, we're gonna be using these dev tools quite a bit and I think it makes the most sense for us to be looking at the same types of tools.

So good job if you went through that and in the next guide, we're gonna install VirtualBox.
