Summary and Setup

This lesson provides an introduction to CMS data on the CERN Open Data Portal. You will learn search techniques for CMS Open Data as well as how to understand the data records and access the files.

First episodes of this lesson can be worked through in a web browser. Episodes 4 and 5 use Docker containers to inspect and download open data files and their metadata, and it will require using a Unix terminal (Linux, MacOS terminal, or Windows WSL2 Ubuntu terminal) with Docker installed.
