Science IT: Linux Command Line

The goal of the Linux Command Line course offered by Science IT is to introduce the basics of controlling a computer exclusively through text based inputs.

The command line itself, called a "Shell" or a "Terminal" depending on the context, is how users control ScienceCloud virtual machines as well as how users manage data and submit jobs on ScienceCluster. The course itself can be understood as a mini-class on the basics of the Bash programming language (the name "Bash" stands for "Bourne Again SHell") as well as the Linux operating system.

In this course you will learn the basics of hierarchical tree filesystems, how to view and manipulating files on these systems, how to format and input Bash commands, and much more. If you're a user of the ScienceCloud or the ScienceCluster, or if you're a researcher who needs to optimize the use of your (Unix based) personal computer, you will likely benefit from this course.

Make sure to have your laptop computer ready and to fulfill the course requirements described below.
