Prerequisites
- A computer with an internet connection
- A computer with Docker installed or the access privileges to install Docker yourself
- 2-4 GB of hard drive storage (you may need about 16 GB of memory for all the lessons in the workshop)
- A familiarity with the command-line. If you would like an introduction or a refresher, check out the Software Carpentry lesson on the Unix shell.
If you experience problems with clipboard sharing between your host machine and your Docker container, the text dump file of the lesson might be of help. You can download this file directly in your container using, e.g., the
wgetcommand, and follow along to copy the necessary commands directly from the text file.
