  • Unix Command Line; Editors
    Unix command line; editors Karl Broman Biostatistics & Medical Informatics, UW–Madison kbroman.org github.com/kbroman @kwbroman Course web: kbroman.org/AdvData My goal in this lecture is to convince you that (a) command-line-based tools are the things to focus on, (b) you need to choose a powerful, universal text editor (you’ll use it a lot), (c) you want to be comfortable and skilled with each. For your work to be reproducible, it needs to be code-based; don’t touch that mouse! Windows vs. Mac OSX vs. Linux Remote vs. Not 2 The Windows operating system is not very programmer-friendly. Mac OSX isn’t either, but under the hood, it’s just unix. Don’t touch the mouse! Open a terminal window and start typing. I do most of my work directly on my desktop or laptop. You might prefer to work remotely on a server, instead. But I can’t stand having any lag in looking at graphics. If you use Windows... Consider Git Bash (or Cygwin) or turn on the Windows subsystem for linux 3 Cygwin is an effort to get Unix command-line tools in Windows. Git Bash combines git (for version control) and bash (the unix shell); it’s simpler to deal with than Cygwin. Linux is now accessible in Windows 10, but you have to enable it. If you use a Mac... Consider Homebrew and iTerm2 Also the XCode command line tools 4 Homebrew is a packaging system; iTerm2 is a Terminal replacement. The XCode command line tools are a must for most unixy things on a Mac.

  • Linux/Unix: the Command Line
    Linux/Unix: The Command Line Adapted from materials by Dan Hood Essentials of Linux • Kernel ú Allocates time and memory, handles file operations and system calls. • Shell ú An interface between the user and the kernel. • File System ú Groups all files together in a hierarchical tree structure. 2 Format of UNIX Commands • UNIX commands can be very simple one word commands, or they can take a number of additional arguments (parameters) as part of the command. In general, a UNIX command has the following form: command options(s) filename(s) • The command is the name of the utility or program that we are going to execute. • The options modify the way the command works. It is typical for these options to have be a hyphen followed by a single character, such as -a. It is also a common convention under Linux to have options that are in the form of 2 hyphens followed by a word or hyphenated words, such as --color or --pretty-print. • The filename is the last argument for a lot of UNIX commands. It is simply the file or files that you want the command to work on. Not all commands work on files, such as ssh, which takes the name of a host as its argument. Common UNIX Conventions • In UNIX, the command is almost always entered in all lowercase characters. • Typically any options come before filenames. • Many times, individual options may need a word after them to designate some additional meaning to the command. Familiar Commands: scp (Secure CoPy) • The scp command is a way to copy files back and forth between multiple computers.
