To get started on cs141 lab work, you will need to do the following:
1. Find a computer to work on that runs linux (including g++, and python v2.2 or later).
2. Log in, 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 at any later time to update the repository again --- for example, before the second programming assignment.
In case we have to change the update_repository command for some reason, the updated version will be in ./repository/bin/update_repository . So you might want to delete the version in your current directory and just run the one from your repository.
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
