</span>That's great. Let us know if you face any issues and if we could be of any help.<br>
<br>
I was also thinking about cloud platform (specifically Google Cloud) which gives<br>
you around 300$ of credits for one year where you could spin up a VM and test<br>
the installation.<br>
<br>
Note: It might need a Credit Card for authentication.<br>

</span>I guess you can join the upcoming session and complete all the<br>
assignments and weeks<br>
before hand too (I was able to do so few weeks back).<br>

<br>
</span>Speaking from experience, I would suggest go through the basics of Tcl<br>
and write some small sample programs to get the gist of Tcl.<br>
This would help you recall whatever you tried now at a later point<br>
of time when you actually touch macports-base.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/Tcl0.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/<wbr>tutorial/Tcl0.html</a> helped me a lot.<br>
I always keep this window open while developing base.<br>

<br>
</span>No issues. Do well for the exams :) Keep us updated.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to a great summer this year :)<br>
