UNIX command line

This course introduces the UNIX command line on a Linux or Mac. It is aimed at colleagues who are going to run analysis programs on their own or wish to use computing clusters.

Instructor: András Aszódi.

Topics

UNIX overview: general principles.
Working with files and directories.
Users, groups, permissions, environment variables.
Command pipelines, job control.

Out of scope

This course focuses on the basics of using the UNIX command line. We will not learn about how to run programs on the HPC cluster! That knowledge is offered in the CBE HPC cluster introduction course.

Prerequisites

Programming experience is not required but desirable. The ability to type with a low error rate is necessary, because this is a hands-on training.

Practical information

Number of participants: minimum 5, maximum 10.

Length: The course takes a half day, usually from 09:00 to 13:00.
