Introduction to working with UNIX and bash (ONLINE LIVE TRAINING) BeginnersSpecial
CRUK Bioinformatics Summer School: Unix and R Foundations
Using the Linux operating system and the bash command line interface, we will demonstrate the basic structure of the UNIX operating system and how we can interact with it using a basic set of commands. Applying this, we will learn how to navigate the filesystem, manipulate text-based data and structure simple pipelines out of these commands.
Building on the techniques learnt so far, we will then construct bash scripts combining the commands and structures already learnt into more complex, reusable tools. We will look at how we can apply these scripts to common problems faced in UNIX environments such as: communicating with remote servers; managing custom software installations and integrating these tools into our simple pipelines.
This course is targeted at participants with no prior experience working with UNIX-like systems (OSX, Linux) or command line interfaces.
