Unix/Linux Tutorial

The three first part from the UNIX Tutorial for Beginners

• Introduction
• chapter 1
• chapter 2

You must use http://uppnex.se/emu/ (or this mirror) to try the commands in the tutorial, otherwise the commands will not work. If you any questions regarding this tutorial contact: martin.dahlo@scilifelab.uu.se

• Using Linux is often the hardest part of the course, so being familiar with writing things on a command-line will help.
  You should at least go through the exercises in the tutorial, no need to know it by heart.

Using UPPMAX

• Make sure that you can login to UPPMAX from your computer before the course starts. Follow these instructions: http://www.uppmax.uu.se/support/user-guides/guide–first-login-to-uppmax/

• It is possible to use Mac, Unix/Linux or Windows. (Windows will require installing a special program that you’ll find in the instructions.)

• a horribly cute terminal tutorial

If you feel uncertain how to work in a terminal window it is important that you go through this tutorial before you start.
