Lab Setup: Environment and Tools Installation

For the lab setup, you do not need to submit anything. However, we strongly urge you to get the environment set up as soon as possible, and start getting familiar with the environment. For those who are not familiar with Linux operating systems, you need to spend extra time. All of our labs will be depending on this environment.

Working in Groups

Each of these projects are individual projects, but you can form groups (of two people), and do the projects together. However, even if you do the projects in groups, each member of the group must know how to do them, and should be able to demonstrate their projects independently.
