Before getting started

This guide contains a variety of tutorials, most of which have to do with setting up various software on Oscar, Brown University's high-performance computing cluster. All interactions with Oscar and relevant software will be done strictly through the terminal.

To avoid confusion, I will use the following format for commands:

[/your/working/directory]$ command-you-should-type
                    

If the working directory is irrelevant or obvious, I will omit it:

$ command-you-should-type
                    

For example, if you see:

[~/Downloads]$ echo Hello World
                    

it means you should navigate to the ~/Downloads folder and type echo Hello World (without the dollar sign).

Now that that's out of the way, I hope you enjoy these tutorials!
