Step 1: Install PyCharm

Download and install for MacOS. We strongly recommend installing the Professional version of PyCharm (free of cost). To do this, you will need to create an account using your university student email address. You may also use the Community edition, however we do not oficially support it.

Step 2: Install Miniconda3

mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
curl https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-arm64.sh -o ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
rm ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
curl https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh -o ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
rm ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh

After installing, close and reopen your terminal application or refresh it by running the following command:

source ~/miniconda3/bin/activate

Step 3: Set up SSH with GitHub

One of the easiest ways to access your GitHub account (and with that your private repository) is to set up a Secure Shell (SSH) key. Follow the for this.
