To get started on cs141 lab work, you will need to do the following:
1. Find a computer to work on that (a) runs linux and (b) has access to the computer science file system and on which you have an account. Log in to your account on that machine.
2. Create a directory to do your cs141 lab work in and go there. For example, you might execute:
$ cd $ mkdir cs141 $ cd cs141
3. Download the file update_repository to that directory, either by using your browser or using wget. Then change the mode of the file to make it executable and run it.
$ wget http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~neal/2005/cs141/repository/bin/update_repository $ chmod +x update_repository $ ./update_repositoryYou can re-run this command any time to update the contents of the repository directory.
4. To get started on programming assignment 1 (prog1), copy (or move) the prog1 directory from the repository to your working directory. Then change to that directory and read the README for further instructions.
$ cp -r repository/prog1 . $ cd repository/prog1 $ less README
