If you prefer to follow this guide with the files downloaded from the repository, you need a good way to view the notes, which are in Markdown format. My three favorite ways are:
-
Download and install VS Code and use the handy markdown preview button .
-
Follow these steps to turn your Google Chrome browser into a smart markdown viewer:
- Open Google Chrome
- Install Markdown Preview Plus
- Navigate to Extensions and select
Details
for Markdown Preview Plus - Enable the option

. - Follow the link to
Extension Options
:- Select
Enable HTML content
. - (Optionally) Choose your favorite theme, e.g.

Download and install the cross-platform markdown editor Typora.
You can now re-open this README file in your preferred tool and proceed through the tutorials following links between pages as you would on the GitHub site.
