Prerequisites for Using the Shared Research Computing Resources
All of the clusters that make up our shared computing resources run the Linux operating system (not Windows or MacOS operating systems). In order to effectively utilize the clusters you must have knowledge of Linux, how to navigate the filesystem, how to create, edit, rename, and delete files, and how to run basic commands and write small scripts. If you need assistance in this area please review the CRC Tutorials Page that are available on our web site.
