#Instructions

#Get the lab

The lab is automatically generated for you. Here’s how to check out your personal lab.

Go to your course directory in the terminal and run the command for your lab.

$ dbwebb create <lab>

Instead of <lab> you type the name of the lab ie $ dbwebb create bash1.

The material for the lab is now created and stored in your course catalog as follows.

Open the file instruction.html in a web browser and read through the information covered by the lab.

Open the file answer.bash in your text editor and code the answers to the questions.

Some labs requires an additional file or folder which will reside in the lab directory and automatically downloaded for you.

#Test lab

You can test your solutions by running the program answer.bash in your terminal.

$ ./answer.bash

#Hand in the lab

To hand in the lab, execute the following command:

dbwebb publish <lab>

Instead of <lab> you type the name of the lab ie $ dbwebb publish bash1.
