Linux basics (3/4)
 Locally accessing Linux: Docker container (quick demo, only tested on

Windows)
 Install Docker desktop
 Search for and install ubuntu image
 In powershell, use the following command to start your docker container using host network
 docker run -it --name ubuntu --net=host ubuntu:latest
 Install dependencies and clone your repo to start working

Linux basics (4/4)
 Remotely accessing Linux: CSE servers (quick demo)

 Find a ssh client: putty, xshell, …
 Input command “ssh YourUnixName@gw.cse.cuhk.edu.hk” and enter your
password
 Wait for prompt, then input “ssh linux[code]”, “[code]” could be 1~16
 You can use “uname –a”, “lsb_release -a” and “gcc --version” to check for kernel
version, ubuntu version and gcc version of the server.

Q&A
Additional Information
 Locally access Linux: VirtualBox as an example

 Download VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
 Download a ubuntu 18.04 image: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
 Check this guide for setting up your Linux VM:
https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-run-ubuntu-desktop-on-a-virtual-
machine-using-virtualbox
 Note: adjust the amount of resources you allocate to the VM according
to the capacity of your PC to avoid host starvation

Additional Information
 Problems you may encounter with VirtualBox and

Ubuntu
 Cannot copy from host and paste in VM, VM window is too small, …
 Require add-on support to be manually installed(a lot of tutorials
online)
 Cannot open terminal by clicking or keyboard shortcut(ctrl+alt+t)
 Use another terminal tool(i.e. xterm) and input “gnome-terminal”
 Check and search the error message online(stackoverflow, google,
