November 6th: Intro to Bash

[vickimzhang]

Where: CDRS (Collaborative Digital Research Space, MN 3230) at Maanjiwe Nendamowinan building
When: 5 PM, November 6
Instructor: Farhan, @souceira
What to bring: To follow along with this lesson, you will need to have bash installed. For Linux and OSX users, bash is included as part of the operating system. In OSX, it can be accessed with terminal; or, you can use iTerm2, which has many more features that make it consistent with the Linux experience.

For Windows users, there are many options. Many people will use git bash, which is packaged with git (a common version control system). Others might use Cygwin. As of August 2016, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) provides access to most command line tools provided by Ubuntu. See here for instructions to enable/install the WSL.

Directions: The CDRS is located in the Maanjiwe Nendamowinan building, formerly the North Building, Room 3230 at the north end of the third level. Once you go through the main entrance of MN, take the elevator to the third floor, turn left, and go all the way down the hall. The door should be open 10-15 minutes before the lesson.
