Many data analysis tools require users to have a basic working knowledge of the command line interface (also referred to as UNIX, Linux, bash, shell). They also may require the user to have access to resources (i.e. memory, CPU, storage) that exceed what is typically acessible on a personal computer or laptop. In this session, participants will:
- Learn basic shell commands for navigating the file system
- Explore file contents
- Perform basic operations, such as moving, copying, renaming files/folders
- Learn how to use HMS-RC's O2 cluster for high-performance computing (HPC)
