Simple UNIX commands

UNIX is a very powerful but complex (and not very easy to remember) operating system. Below are the commands you'll need to know for the course. For further UNIX instructional web pages there are many available and some are held here at Oxford

First after you login make a new directory to store your work. Name it after your own name. Command for this:

    mkdir "yourname"

Move to that directory by using the change directory command:

    cd "yourname"

Then to list the files in your directory:

    ls

Next you'll want to edit a program. Use pico as the text editor.
