Overview
The Unix shell has been around longer than most of its users have been alive. It has survived so long because it’s a power tool that allows people to do complex things with just a few keystrokes. More importantly, it helps them combine existing programs in new ways and automate repetitive tasks so they aren’t typing the same things repeatedly. Using the shell is fundamental to using a wide range of other powerful tools and computing resources with clusters locally at KAUST (i.e., Ibex, Nesser, Shaheen, etc) or in the cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure, etc).
This hands-on lesson is part of the Introduction to Data Science Workshop Series offered by KVL as part of our on-going efforts to build core data science skills capacity both at KAUST and within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
