++ on a Linux workstation.
Here is a list of basic commands you may want to use.
Basic UNIX commands:
- ls : list the files in the current directory
- mkdir my_exercise : create a directory called my_excercise
- cd my_exercise : go to the directory my_excercise. my_excercise becomes the current directory
Using an editor:
There are several editors available
- vi
- emacs
- kate
- nedit
- geany ( Python syntax highlighted..)
Run the python interpretor :
In this tutorial we are expecting you to create a python script using your favourite editor and run python to interpret it. Your system have been set-up already and you can use Magics and python by typing the single command:
python magics.py
Visualise your result:
Magics will generate a Postscript or a PNG output. To visualise the results, you can use one of the following commands:
- gv magics.ps : visualise a Postscript file called magics.ps
- display magics.png : visualise a PNG file called magics.png
- xv magics.png : visualise a PNG file called magics.png
