Setting up your computer for the App Inventor [May 15, 2012, 2:13 p.m.]
As we mentioned in Task 1, App Inventor runs in your browser but there is some software that you will have to download to your computer to get the inventor to work.
You should also note that you will need a Google account to use the MIT beta service. This is the only authentication method provided right now, so make sure you use your Gmail account to log in to the App Inventor.
App Inventor is compatible with Linux, Mac, and Windows but make sure that you download the right package for your system as explained in this tutorial: Set Up your computer.
