#General Notes on Bioinformatics
##Command Line/Terminal Tutorial
This workflow is written assuming that the user is using a Mac or Linux. It is possible to perform much of this workflow in a Windows environment but would require details outside the scope of this project.
Some parts of this workflow require use of the UNIX command line. While potentially intimidating to the first-time user, we have attempted to provide all the information required to run scripts or software in this environment.
Here are a few simple commands needed for this workflow.
To access the command line on a Mac navigate to Applications > Utilities > Terminal
A terminal window will appear. In the terminal window, you can interact with your computer without using a mouse. Many
of the popular programs
that are commonly used in common use have a GUI (Graphical User Interface,) but many of the ones used in this workflow will not. So, instead of double-clicking to make a program run, you will type a command in the terminal window. We will walk you through how to run all of the programs required for this workflow, but you must first acquire a basic familiarity with how to interact with your computer through the terminal window. Below is a list of commands that will be required to use this workflow. There are many tutorials available to help you get started.
More information on the terminal
