Linux for HPC beginners

The course covers the essential elements of the Linux user environment which you must understand in order to run work on the HPC services. This includes:

• The shell (bash)
• Linux command structure and flags
• Useful commands for editing and preparing data
• A variety of common utilities
• The Linux file and directory structure and how to manage and organise files and directories.
• Linux pipes and file re-direction

There is a large practical content to the course which helps ensure that at the end of the course you have a good working knowledge of the topic, rather than just the theory.
