Description
SUITABILITY:
Research postgraduate students and staff from all faculties and research
domains who are new HPC users; absolute beginners to the Linux command
line.
COURSE CONTENT:
This is a basic introduction to using the Linux command line and
navigating Linux file structures. The Linux command line is the main
method of accessing HPC resources at the University of Leeds and further
afield, and this course lays down the basic groundwork needed. No
previous experience of Linux or command line is required.
In this course, we cover:
- Filesystem structure on Linux systems
- Basic useful commands for navigating filesystems and managing and
modifying folders and files
- How to run scripts from the command line
This course includes practical exercises and hands-on coding that you
will be guided through. Note that this course does not include guidance
on submitting jobs to HPC systems, please see HPC1: Introduction to High
Performance Computing for information on this topic.
PREREQUISITES: None. This course uses a virtual Linux machine in the
cloud, so no specialised software is required to be
installed/downloaded.
If attending an online iteration of this course, we recommend using a
second screen so that you can follow along easily during the practical
sections.
DURATION: 1/2 day
