Introduction to the Command Line for Genomics: Setup

To participate in this workshop, you will need access to the bash shell, as well as a copy of the sample data files.

For information on accessing the shell on your laptop and downloading the sample data, see the materials section on our workshop page.

Before we can use the data, we must

  1. Download the shell_data.zip file
  2. Extract its contents - a shell_data folder (double-click the file if your browser didn’t extract it automatically).
  3. Move the folder to your home directory (e.g. /Users/dan or C:\Users\Dan)
