Introduction to Linux command line
16 September 2025, 9h00- 12h00
General context
This training provides an introduction to the Linux command line.
Individuals interested in training that utilizes the Linux command line (such as our spatial data analysis, genome assembly, and variant analysis training) and have no prior command-line experience should complete this training first.
Using online resources, we will show you how to:
- Find your way into the file system
- Use commands to manipulate files and folders
- Write and execute bash and Python scripts
Everyone who wants to follow a course that uses the VSC (Vlaamse Super Computer), and who has no experience with Linux, should follow this training.
