+#### 1. Download and extract the exercises
 
 1. [Click here to download the `100.dathere.com.zip` file](https://github.com/dathere/100.dathere.com/archive/refs/heads/main.zip).
 2. Unzip `100.dathere.com.zip`. You may delete everything except the `lessons` folder.
 
 As you follow along with a lesson page on `100.dathere.com`, once an exercise appears then you may change directory into the relevant folder (e.g., `cd lessons/0` for the first exercise). We recommend you ignore the `notes.md` file in each lesson folder as the lesson is rendered as intended on `100.dathere.com` and the file may also contain the solution to the exercise.

 You can download the current bash completions file from qsv's source code at [`contrib/bashly/completions.bash`](https://github.com/jqnatividad/qsv/blob/master/contrib/bashly/completions.bash). Then you may run `source completions.bash` to enable the completions in your current terminal instance. You may also move `completions.bash` to your home directory (`~/completions.bash`) and also create a `.bashrc` file in your home directory (`~/.bashrc`) to include `source completions.bash` as a line within it for the completions script to run whenever you launch a bash terminal.
