Unix command line fundamentals
The Linux command line, also known as the terminal or shell, is a powerful tool that allows you to control your computer directly with text commands. While it might seem intimidating or strange at first, it offers a lot of flexibility and efficiency once you have acquired the skill. In addition, high performance computing (HPC) systems are powerful tools used for complex calculations and data analysis, and often controlled by Unix command lines. This workshop will get you started on the basics, such as navigating through folders and viewing files. You will need a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer to participate. Students can borrow a laptop through the library’s Tech Lending program (Hyperlink to https://www.lib.iastate.edu/find-borrow-request/tech-lending/laptop-and-equipment-checkout). If you need assistance to fully participate in this workshop, or have an accessibility request, please contact the instructor in advance.
