If you are ever unsure of what to replace the text with, just ask.īefore logging onto TACC servers, multi-factor authentication must be set up. We try to put informative text within the brackets so you know what to replace it with. Things that exist within symbols represent something that you need to replace before sending it to the terminal. Text inside of code blocks represent 'right' answers, and should either be typed EXACTLY into the terminal window as they are, or copy pasted with a noteable exception. Access the answer by clicking 'expand source' on the right hand side of the code block. These code blocks represent things that either there is a good chance you know how to do already, something too straightforward to warrant a hint, or are there to give you the answer if the hint doesn't help.These will always contain an additional hidden code block incase you don't find the hint as clever as we did.Access the hint by clicking the triangle or hint hyperlink. These are code blocks that you can probably figure out what to type with a hint that goes beyond what the tutorial is requesting.These will typically be associated with longer/more detailed text above the text box explaining things.These are code blocks that you would have no idea what to type without help.There will be 3 types of code blocks used throughout this class:

This brings us to our first 'code block'. Log into lonestar using your account information.

For windows this should be done by connecting through cygwin.

For MACs this is done by clicking on the magnifying glass on the right hand side of the toolbar at the top of the page and type 'terminal'. Review use of the nano text editor program, and become familiar with several other text editor programs.Refresh understanding of basic linux commands with some course organization.Change your lonestar profile to the course specific format.Anyone wishing to use this tutorial is welcome. Collective thanks to all those that contributed to those works which now appear in a single version. Portions of this tutorial were adapted from previous versions which can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. This tutorial is adapted from a previous version which allowed for set up on the now decommissioned lonestar4. This portion of the class is devoted to making sure we are all starting from the same starting point on lonestar.
