10. We will setup our computers. It is important you do this in order:
    1. Please install homebrew: https://brew.sh/
       1. You will be prompted for your password. As you are typing your password, you will not see what you are typing. This is normal. 
       2. When homebrew is finished there are three lines you need to copy (one at a time). Please do this, starting at the top line. 
    2. Please install vscode. When you are done downloading it, please ensure vscode is in your applications folder. 
    3. Please create a folder on a desktop named "programming" There should be no spaces, numbers or capital letters.
    4. Open the folder from within visual studio code - ensure you trust "this folder and all subfolders".
