CRUK: Basic Unix
The Unix shell has existed since the early days of computers, and yet is still the preferred way to run many popular Bioinformatics tools. This course aims to take the novice and turn them into a beginning Linux user. We will describe the Linux environment so they can start to utilize command-line tools and feel comfortable using a text-based way of interacting with a computer.
This event is part of a series of training courses organized in collaboration with Dr. Mark Dunning at CRUK Cambridge Institute.
