Section outline

  • During the course, exercises will be performed using a terminal for a local usage (no connection to a remote server). Terminal applications are installed by default on Mac and Linux machines. So please make sure you have a terminal on your machine prior to the course.
    • For Mac users, it is called "Terminal.app" and can be found in "Applications -> Utilities" or with the Search utility
    • For Windows users, latest Windows 10 OS version might propose a terminal but in most cases you will need to install one, which allows to browse your local files. We recommend you to install Mobaxterm. MobaXterm provides all the important remote network tools (SSH, X11, RDP, VNC, FTP, MOSH, ...) and Unix commands (bash, ls, cat, sed, grep, awk, rsync, ...) to Windows desktop, in a single portable exe file which works out of the box. Download link to the free Home Edition: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html

    The course slides will be available to download before the course.
