Next, you need to have a Linux system that you can use.

ISU CS Account

If you are a student in a CS course at ISU you will be given an account on the CS linux systems. See CS Accounts and CS Lab Computers, and make sure to check the section about logging into the CS server remotely.

Linux on Your Computer

You can also download and install VirtualBox on your computer, download a Linux install image (e.g., Ubuntu Linux), and then install Linux into your virtual box.

Mac OS X

You can also use a Mac OS X computer - most (but not all) commands are the same on Linux and Mac OS X. On Mac OS X, to get to the terminal you click on Finder, then Applications, then Utilities, then Terminal.
