2.13) Exercise 1

Obtain an account on ARC2, or another suitable HPC system, make sure you can:

• Login to ARC2 using SSH
• Familiarise yourself with basic UNIX commands: ls, cd, pwd, cp, etc
• Make use of the man command to access the manual pages. For instance to look at the manual page for man, use the command man man
• Ensure you can use a file editor : gedit, nano, emacs or vi

If you have any problems with above, please refer to the Linux Course for a refresher. Also, look at the basic Unix Commands page for some basic useful commands. For more information about any of the commands:

$ man <command name>

Ensure you are able to transfer files to/from ARC2.

You can also work through section 1 of the “Getting started” exercises, located on the ARC wiki, https://hec.wiki.leeds.ac.uk/bin/view/Documentation/ArcGsExercises .
