  2. Why use Linux • A Linux distribution has software worth thousands of dollars, for virtually no cost • Linux operating system is reliable, stable, and very powerful • Linux comes with a complete development environment, including compilers, toolkits, and scripting languages • Linux comes with networking facilities, allowing you to share hardware • Linux utilizes your memory, CPU, and other hardware to the fullest • A wide variety of commercial software is also available • Linux is very easily upgradeable • Supports multiple processors as standard • True multitasking. So many apps, all at once • The GUIs are more powerful than Mac!

  3. The use of computers to analyze, run for biological,Physics, and climate, wheather and etc. problems.” As all data sets have grown larger and problems have become more complex, the requirements for computing power have also grown. Computers that can provide this power generally use the Unix operating system - so you must learn Unix Linux/UNIX has powerful text processing tools which are highly suited to working with sequence data While many tools have Web interfaces, many more are available via the UNIX command line International Training Course on “Climate Analysis and Applications”10-19 October 2011WMO RTC-Turkey Facilities Alanya, Antalya, TURKEY

  4. Linux directories • /bin System binaries, including the command shell • /boot Boot-up routines • /dev Device files for all your peripherals • /etc System configuration files • /home User directories • /lib Shared libraries and modules • /lost+found Lost-cluster files, recovered from a disk-check • /mnt Mounted file-systems • /opt Optional software • /proc Kernel-processes pseudo file-system • /root Administrator’s home directory • /sbin System administration binaries • /usr User-oriented software • /var Various other files: mail, spooling and logging International Training Course on “Climate Analysis and Applications”10-19 October 2011WMO RTC-Turkey Facilities Alanya, Antalya, TURKEY

  5. File and Directory management cd Change the current directory. With no arguments "cd" changes to the users home directory. cd <directory path> ls List contents of a directory. Ex: ls, ls –l , ls –al, ls –ld, ls –R (-rwxrwxr-x 1 juan juan 0 Sep 26 12:25 foo) |more will list page wise mkdir Make a directory. Ex: mkdir <directory name> : Makes a directory Ex mkdir –p /www/chache/var/log will create all the directories starting from www.

  6. 3 types of file permissions – read, write, execute 10 bit format from 'ls l'command 1 2 3 45 6 7 8 9 10 file type ownergroup others eg. Drwxrwr means owner has all three permissions, group has read and write, others have only read permission read permission – 4, write – 2, execute 1 eg. Rwxrw-r--=764 673 = rw-rwx-wx International Training Course on “Climate Analysis and Applications”10-19 October 2011WMO RTC-Turkey Facilities Alanya, Antalya, TURKEY

  7. chmod Change the file permissions. Ex: chmod 751 myfile : change the file permissions to rwx for owner, rx for group and x for others Ex: chmod go=+r myfile : Add read permission for the group and others (character meanings u-user, g-group, o-other, + add permission,-remove,r-read,w-write,x-exe) Ex: chmod +s myfile - Setuid bit on the file which allows the program to run with user or group privileges of the file chown Change owner. Ex: chown <owner1> <filename> : Change ownership of a file to owner1. chgrp Change group. Ex: chgrp <group1> <filename> : Change group of a file to group1.

  9. find Find files (find <start directory> -name <file name> -print) Ex: find /home –name readme -print (Search for readme starting at home and output full path.)“/home" = Search starting at the home directory and proceed through all its subdirectories "-name readme" = Search for a file named readme "-print" = Output the full path to that file Ex: find /home –name readme 2>/dev/null International Training Course on “Climate Analysis and Applications”10-19 October 2011WMO RTC-Turkey Facilities Alanya, Antalya, TURKEY

  10. sed stream editor for filtering and transforming text Usage: sed [OPTION] [inputfile]... eg. sed 's/love/hate/g' loveletter.txt bg – make a foreground process to run in background Usage: type 'ctrl+z' and then 'bg <job id>' fg – to make background process as foreground process Usage: fg [jobid] jobs – displays the names and ids of background jobs Usage: jobs International Training Course on “Climate Analysis and Applications”10-19 October 2011WMO RTC-Turkey Facilities Alanya, Antalya, TURKEY
