Getting Started

If you are performing this tutorial at a Computational Biophysics Workshop offered by the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group, a copy of the files needed for this tutorial have been set up for you. They can be found in your home directory, under the path $\sim$/Workshop/sbcg-tutorial/files/.

• Unix/Mac OS X Users: In a Terminal window type:
  

  cd <path to the directory sbcg-tutorial/files/>
  

  You can list the content of this directory by using the command ls.
  

• Windows Users: Navigate to the sbcg-tutorial $\rightarrow$ files directory using Windows Explorer.
  

If you downloaded the tutorial from the web you will also need to download the appropriate files, unzip them, and place them in a directory of your choosing. You should then navigate to that directory in a similar manner as described directly above. The files for this tutorial are available at
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/

In the figure below, you can see the structure of the directory containing files for each of the tutorial exercises.

Figure: Directory Structure for tutorial exercises. Sample output for each exercise is provided in an ``example-output'' subdirectory within each folder. When possible, exemplary output files from one exercise are used as exemplary input files for the next exercise; they can be found in ``example-input'' subdirectories.
