I just followed this video and it works really well. I made a small python script that opens the directories and launches the web pages needed to complete the tutorial. Not my best work but it was quick. I could make it more friendly if someone needs it.. lol You don't need to use my script to complete, just follow the video.
All credit goes to the guy in the Video. I did not make this, I just followed the video.
Here is the Python code for anyone interested.
