Setup your scientific computing environment
In this series, we setup a Linux environment for scientific computing from scratch and discuss its various aspects.
Series Commands, Codes and Materials
In order to follow the videos more efficiently and reproduce the workflows, you may need the list of commands we have executed in each video. You can find the commands (and other relevant materials) in this GitHub repository.
