由于历史原因，就生物信息数据分析而言，linux操作系统的软件生态比windows好得多，有很多生物信息的工具只支持linux系统。所以熟悉linux操作系统的使用对于学习生物信息是很有必要的。
除了需要linux环境，在我们的学习中还会遇到各种软件的依赖。鉴于在自己的笔记本上使用linux环境的同学不多，为了给大家提供linux的操作环境，并且节约一些软件安装的时间，我们提供了两种解决方案:
1.1 Working on Docker​
1.2 Working on Cluster​
1) Learn an editor
linux有一些桌面版是带有图形界面的，我们可以像在window和mac上一样使用类似记事本的工具进行文本编辑。然而并不是所有的linux发行版都有图形界面，所以了解在各种linux环境下都适用的终端文本编辑工具是有必要的。我们这里主要介绍两种，Vim和Atom。
A. Vim​
You can start from a simple version of Vim, like MacVim.
Then, you can learn vim progressively, and it will be your last text editor. There isn’t any better text editor that I know of. It is hard to learn, but incredible to use.I suggest you teach yourself Vim in 4 steps:
1.Survive
2.Feel comfortable
3.Feel Better, Stronger, Faster
4.Use superpowers of vim
B. Atom​
A hackable text editor for the 21st century. See how to use Atom.
2) README
Always document your project. We suggest always having a README.md file in your project DIR.
3) Backup your data regularly
It's necessary to backup data regularly.
Here is a tutorial for data backup methods and tips: How to backup​
4) Homework
Install and use docker
Learn and use an editor like Vim
5) Teaching Videos (link)
