- [Instructor] Use the exercise files link on this course's webpage to obtain the source code files referenced. Download and expand the exercise files archive. Now the files are organized by chapter and movie, named the same as they are here in the source code files. Be aware that some of the exercise files contain bugs. This is a necessity for use in this course. The integrated development environment or IDE I use for this course is Code Blocks which is obtained from CodeBlocks.org. This course explains how to use the Code Blocks debugging tools, those these tools are availible in other IDEs as well. This course also uses the Ubuntu Linux Bash shell which is availible in Windows 10. This software is obtained from the Microsoft store. Now ensure that you have a compiler, such a Clang installed. You also need the debugging software, the new debugger, GDB as well. Use the package manager for your Linux distro to obtain these programs if they're not installed. And here in the Linux shell for Windows, if you type the program name and nothing comes up, a hint appears on the screen telling you the command to type to obtain the program. Now that you're mise en place for this course, now you're ready to start debugging C programs.
