Working environment
Note
We expect participants to work in a Unix environment on their laptop.
If you are unfamiliar with the Unix shell, you can work through the exercises in The Unix Shell tutorial by Software Carpentry.
Windows users: the Unix tutorial gives git bash as an
option. However, for all work during the hands-on session:
- do not use
git bash - do not use
Power shell(apart from installing WSL2) - activate WSL2 and use the Ubuntu terminal that comes with it!
Activate WSL2 and use the Ubuntu terminal.
Use Terminal.app
