Shell

[Yuchun He]

I use windows and I have never used shell before. I don't know how to access to the shell. Is there anyone can help me with it? Thank you.

In this class, we' re going to work with Linux shell. So if you're on Windows, there are 2 ways to have it:

- Remotely access CSIL Linux machine through SSH (just a mean for your computer to talk to other computers). On your windows, first download and install PuTTy (https://www.putty.org/) program.  Then open the PuTTy program, in the host name field, enter the one of the servers (for example,  asb9804u-d02.csil.sfu.ca). In the port field, put 24. Click open and a shell pops up and will ask you for your SFU ID and credentials.

- Virtual machine. Follow the "VM" section of this link: https://www.cs.sfu.ca/~ashriram/Courses/CS295/tutorials.html. You can watch the video there.
