Install LINQPad

- [Instructor] Here is the LINQpad application I'm using in the course. I am using LINQpad 5. If you work with .net core, there's also a version for that called LINQpad 6. To get your own copy, go to their site here @linqpad.net. Find the download links, download your copy and install it. I am working with a licensed version, the premium edition but everything I'm showing you should be available in the free edition. Once you've installed LINQpad, you want to set up the My Query section to point to the examples from git hub. So to do that, you click on Set folder here, and then you're going to go to your repost folder, wherever you installed this repo for the course, go to that folder and then set it to use the source folder. You can click on browse here to get to that folder and set your location. Once you set the source, you'll see these top level folders. There's some assets, here's where you find your databases. Here's where you find the entity framework, executable files. There's also a visual studio project that contains the definition of our entity framework models. If you're using visual studio, open this folder and find the solution file, and load that if you want to follow along. And then each of the chapters has different examples. So if you're working in chapter three you'd open this folder, and then double click on one of these or just select it depending what your settings are LINQpad, and you can see the content of the query here on the screen.
