To download the test notebook, the command given is

wget https://github.com/AllenDowney/2020-11-16-astrodc-online/raw/gh-pages/test_setup.ipynb

This failed for me so I tried

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AllenDowney/2020-11-16-astrodc-online/gh-pages/test_setup.ipynb

We may want to tell learners that this should be executed on a bash/zsh shell (e.g. Terminal app on Mac) and that it will save the file to their current directory. If we want them working in a specific location, we should say that as well. We could have them create a directory on their desktop called dc-astronomy-workshop and give all instructions relative to that directory.

I have updated these links and improved the instructions, especially for Windows users. Please take a look and let me know if there are remaining issues.
