How to follow the guides

These guides assume you are comfortable with the Command Line, Git and Python. You must have all of these installed on your machine. You are also strongly encouraged to have a GitHub account.

This section contains guides to help you do some of the required tasks for creating a Mother Tongues Dictionary. There are a lot of guides here and some of them are quite involved.

Remember that if you don't know one or more of the pre-requisite skills, the internet is a wonderful place with lots of resources for learning.
