Software Carpentry #20

Open smiths opened 6 years ago

Please review the basics of the Unix shell by completing the Software Carpentry lesson at:

http://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/

These basic skills will really help you. Much of what is written for the Unix command line also applies at the Windows Command Prompt. Instead of ls (listing) you type dir. If there are any commands that don't work, you could use google to find out the Windows equivalent.

In the longer term, you will want a Unix style shell on your computer. Options include VirtualBox for a virtual Linux installation, or you could ssh into the CAS department's servers. I've also heard that Windows 10 makes it easy to use Unix style commands, but I don't know the details on this. Another option is to install Cygwin.

When you have completed the tutorial exercises, you can close this issue with a comment explaining what you have learned.
