Use the tarball with exercises

Goal

You can run the example files needed for the exercises

A tarball is a file that contains multiple files, similar to a zip file. To use the files it contains, it needs to be untarred/unzipped/uncompressed first.

Procedure

The procedure has these steps:

  • Get the tarbal

  • Uncompress the tarbal

Step 1: get the tarbal

In a terminal, use the following command to download the file to your current folder:

wget https://github.com/UPPMAX/R-python-julia-matlab-HPC/raw/refs/heads/main/exercises/exercises.tar.gz

Step 2: Uncompress the tarbal

In a terminal, use the following command to uncompress the file:

tar -xvzf exercises.tar.gz

After decompressing, there is a folder called exercises that contains the exercises.
