# Linux Training/Overview

It is recommended to have some familiarity with Linux/Unix commands to make use of the Chinook HPC cluster. For those who may be unfamiliar these resources may be of some help.

* [Software Carpentry: Unix Shell](https://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/)
* [Linux Overview (Iowa State University)](https://www.hpc.iastate.edu/guides/unix-introduction/unix-tutorial-1)
* [Introduction to Unix Commands (Indiana University)](https://kb.iu.edu/d/afsk)

For a more in depth introduction we recommend the following introduction course from Red Hat:
