A few of these commands jump ahead a bit, but don't worry, we'll be going over all of these commands in depth soon! For now, we'll change to a premade directory for this workshop:

cd <directory of your choice>

⚠️ Whenever you see the "" syntax, it's implied that you'll type something in place of "", in this case, you type the path where you want to save your practice exercises using no "<>" characters (e.g.; for , one might type /Users/janedoe or ~ or $HOME ). If you're unsure, just type cd and save the exercises in your home directory (they're not big).

...then download and unzip the dataset we'll be using for this workshop:

wget https://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/data/shell-lesson-data.zip
unzip shell-lesson-data.zip 

If you haven't already, please be sure to follow the instructions on Getting started with UTIA Computing Resources.

From your terminal, use the command ssh to connect to the Sphinx server:

ssh <your_netid>@login.isaac.utk.edu
