Setting up programming environment

Windows

First you will need the following:
1) Download the JDK
2) Install Github
3) Make an account... although how are you reading this if you do not have an account?
4) Download git
5) Revision control system:
   Tortoise
   Source Tree
6) Console
7) IDE

Set Up:

  1. Install java wherever you want to and remember the location where you put it.
  2. Also install github wherever you would like.
  3. Well you already have an account.
  4. Also install wherever you would like, but do remember the location.
  5. Also install them wherever.
  6. Extract the console somewhere you can access easily (My documents for example).
    Also create a directory where the project will be stored.
    Open Console2.exe
    Go to Edit -> Settings
    In the Console tab you will have Shell: put in the directory where you installed Git(not github) and add \bin\sh.exe and surround it in double quotation marks and then add --login -i
    So in my case my Git is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Git therefore in my Shell: text box I will type "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i
    In the Startup dir: copy and paste directory where you will be working on the code.
    That is it, Console is setup.
    Checkout the code (I don't know the command Ivan help me), and you are good to go.
  7. Open up IDEA, and select import project.
    Navigate to the project and click on the .project file.
    Once the project loads it will say that java is not found.
    Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to open project structure.
    Find SDKs tab on the left hand side.
    For JDK home path: navigate to where you installed java and choose that.
    For me it is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
    If you also want to import my settings go to File -> Import Settings... and navigate to where you installed the project and find settings.jar there.
    Enjoy and start programming.

Linux

Well someone will have to do this. Or simply remove it.
