Do not see the code button to download zip

[JuanMontano10]

Apart from this problem, when downloading the gcc part it doesnt prompt me to run software. When I open that file and click run software nothing happens. So I cant edit my view per the course instructions.

I have both the same issues - can't run Guest Additions once I've inserted the CD image, and can't find the download for the code in this repository.

I have the same issues - can't run Guest additions and do not have the green code button to download the exercises in this repository.

So it looks like multiple learners have the same issue as mine. I also faced both the above issues. The course is good, but without the repository files it's difficult to continue.

Hello-

It seems many people are having the same set of issues with this course, so hopefully these tips can resolve them.

Downloading the Zip File

To download the zip file from GitHub, click the Code button at the top right of the repository page, and then click the Download ZIP item:

If you don't see the green Code button in your browser, your browser window may be too narrow. Expand the width of the window or zoom out to see if the button appears.

Installing Guest Additions

First, open the Terminal application and type the command:

sudo apt install gcc make perl

Then, use the VirtualBox interface to insert the Guest Additions CD image.

To install the Guest Additions software, find the CD in the bar at the left of the screen, and click it to open the file browser.

Then, select the file autorun.sh, right click it, and click 'Run as a Program':

When the process completes, press return and then restart your virtual machine.
