Unix and Editing Commands
Getting Started with Linux
Linux is a basic language used to create, edit, and delete files. Most, if not all, computational
chemistry programs require a working knowledge of Linux.
Learning the Unix Command-line
A basic knowledge of how to navigate a filesystem, execute
commands, and to create files and folders is a prerequisite to understanding
the rest of the Amber tutorials. Basic competencies in Unix and command-line
interfaces are part of a core computing proficiency and will serve you well
in other pursuits. Increasing fluency will ensure that you get the most out
of the content offered on this site.
The link provided at the top navigates to an interactive Unix tutorial
through Codecademy, and is ideal
for beginners. You will need to create a free login to use it. There are
many other resources for Linux and Unix, but this is in the right
ballpark. By codecademy
