True. The best solution I found and what I do in workshops is: - download a zip file that I put in the workshop's website with the Nelle's filesystem, - move it to the Desktop and unzip, (no need of CLI until here) - cd && cd Desktop takes you there from whatever you are in all OS.
This has the advantage of being able to see how you change the files using the graphical interface. (Sometimes is a bit messy when people have 1000s files in their Desktop already…) Maybe we should add a link in the shell lesson to the files and explain this in a callout box, so the solo learner can download the files easily? Actually, we could do this also the Python and R lessons and have a dedicated callout "Getting ready" at the end of index.md to sort this type of things out.
