To access and use supercomputers like Puhti and Mahti, you need to be able to work with text-based Command Line Interface (CLI). This is a new challenge to many people who are more used to using Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) in Windows and macOS. 

This course provides users with "basic command line skills" that are a prerequisite in many CSC courses. To make sure you get the most out of the other courses, please go through this material and skill tests first. Happy journey on the command line!
