You can login by hitting the enter key or click student to login.

Hit the enter key to continue after inputting your password.

Software Update
You will most likely receive a notification at this point that there is updated software available. This is the package manager informing you that there are newer versions of the packages available that you currently have installed.
It is normally a best practice to update your operating system whenever new package versions are available. However one of the early sections of this book is learning about and using the package manager. We will complete the step of updating our software at that point in time. Please select Remind Me Later to skip this step for now. No problem if you accidentally select Install Now, it will simply change some of the output you see during the Package Manger lessons, but will not impact your ability to work through this course.
Select Reminder Me Later as we will complete updates in a later lesson.
