Before you can work on an HPC cluster, we need to get familiarised with the Linux environment.

Learning Objectives

◇ Know importand basic Bash commands.
◇ Be able to find help for terminal commands and applications in general.
◇ Learn to critically use available resources, such as posts or ChatGPT.
