Geo command-line Bootcamp

Introduction

todo!

Who is this for?

Anyone who wants to learn to work with geospatial data at the UNIX command-line.

Prerequisites

You should already :

• know command-line basics. If you don't, head over to the command-line bootcamp to get up to speed before returning to this bootcamp.
• be familiar with basic GIS and geospatial concepts. If you aren't, we recommend following one of these basic GIS courses before returning to this bootcamp.

How to read this tutorial

Command-line examples that you are meant to type into a terminal window, and the results of those examples, will be shown in a black code block, e.g.

ls -lrh

Sometimes the accompanying text will include a reference to a Unix command. Any such text will also be in a constant-width, boxed font. E.g.

Type the pwd command.

From time to time this documentation will contain web links to pages that will help you find out more about certain Unix commands. Usually, the first mention of a command or function will be a hyperlink to Wikipedia. Important or critical points will be styled like so:
