How to Set Up Linux for Khan Academy Development

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: The Khan Academy code just switched over from Subversion to Mercurial. I will be posting a video explaining these changes. Besides the one command involving subversion, the rest of the video is still valid.

This video will teach you how to setup your Linux environment for Khan Academy development. Although this video is demonstrated using Ubuntu, the concepts should remain the same across all Linux distributions. Recorded by Michael Schmatz.

COPY AND PASTE MATERIAL:
The lines you have to copy and paste into the subversion config file are:
*.py = svn:eol-style=native
*.js = svn:eol-style=native
*.txt = svn:eol-style=native
*.htm = svn:eol-style=native
*.html = svn:eol-style=native
*.bat = svn:eol-style=native

The command to grab all of the code through Subversion is

svn checkout http://khanacademy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ khanacademy-read-only
