This class is part of the Research Data Management Seminar Series

Workshop 1: Introduction to the Command-line Interface

Many data analysis tools and computational resources require users to have a basic working knowledge of the command line interface (also referred to as UNIX, Linux, bash, shell). In this workshop participants will learn basic commands for performing simple tasks within a filesystem without the use of a point and click environment.
 
Workshop scope:

• Navigating the file system and exploring the folders/files using shell
• Performing file operations, such as moving, copying, and renaming files
• Exploring file contents
• Creating new files and searching for content within

Audience: This session is open to HMS/HSPH/HSDM. You don't need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop. Additional sessions in this series will build upon the topics covered.

Location: TMEC 227 Mini Amphitheater

Requirements: Participants should bring a laptop with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on.

Instructors: Radhika Khetani, Training Director, Research Scientist, Harvard Chan Bioinformatics Core, Department of Biostatistics, HSPH
