Before you begin, you need to have completed either the Virtual Machine lesson or the Docker one. In particular, you need to have a CMSSW area (in the VM or Docker container) already validated and ready to use.
If you experience problems with clipboard sharing between your host machine and your VM or Docker container, the text dump file of the lesson might be of help. You can download this file directly in your VM or Docker container using, e.g., the
wgetcommand, and follow along to copy the necessary commands directly from the text file.
