In episode 2, starting with data, at least a couple of times, the instructions for executing or running the code is 'type'. I think this could be confusing for someone who is new to programming. One particular line talks about 'typing' the code straight into the console to install packages.Does typing a code in the console run it? To avoid the confusion that might arise, I suggest using a more uniform language throughout the lesson.
