Topic: Setting up tutorials


Avi Craimer (Sep 24 2020 at 15:12):

Hello,
I'm new to lean. I just installed it on MacOS with the command line, then I downloaded the tutorials and copied the exercises folder. However, on the lean projects page, there aren't any instructions for how to run the code. Also, I am getting errors in VS Code saying that the imports cannot be found. Is there another magic command I need to run to get it all working?

How did you download the tutorials? Did you do leanproject get tutorials?

One common mistake that leads to this issue is opening a single file in VS Code instead of the entire project directory.

Also, when you say you installed Lean with the command line, do you mean you followed all the instructions here and then here?

Doing something else (like trying to use homebrew's Lean) will probably not work.

I realized in VS Code I'd opened up a parent folder that container the project folder. When I opened just the project folder it worked. Thanks everybody for the troubleshooting advice.
