Basic Unix Tutorial - prerequisite for AFNI bootcamp
This tutorial is a very brief introduction to Unix. It is based
on the AFNI_data6 directory tree, and can be found there.
Goals:
- be able to navigate directories and peruse contents
- run afni in the background
- understand some basics of shell scripts and variables
Notes:
- commands to type will be on a yellow background
- practice typing commands exactly as they appear, rather than
using a copy-and-paste approach ("practice makes better")
Background:

1. Opening a command terminal for the first time
Tutorials:
0. Install AFNI and the AFNI_data6 class data tree
