It is important to note that this tutorial was designed to run on an Apple a Mac, so some things in it will not be quite the same on TACC. In fact, in order for things to work at all, you must replace names in the tutorial that start with /Volume/USB with ~/Volume/USB. For example, instead of:
| Code Block |
|---|
cd /Volumes/USB/Unix_and_Perl_course
|
you should type
| Code Block |
|---|
cd ~/Volumes/USB/Unix_and_Perl_course |
The reason this is necessary is that the tutorial was designed to run on an Apple PC where you can install new devices in the root file system (under the / directory). We cannot do that at TACC, so the next best thing is to install it in a similar looking pathname in your home directory (signified by ~).
