=== Part 2 - Setting Up Your Linux Environment For OPS435 Labs===
The first step is to update our your entire system. Fedora uses a new package manager, : it is based on yum, but has yet it contains newer code, and has more maintainers and many improvementsmaintainer features as also contains improved features. It should work very similarly to the yum command, but check the man pages if you get confused.
<pre>dnf update</pre>
'''Perform the following steps:''' #Lets start installing applications we need, first Python version 3 and version 2.<presource>
dnf install python3 python2 # Install python3.5 and python2.7
</presource> This next #Next, you will install a couple of useful applications are called '''tmux ''' and '''screen'''. They are referred to as '''terminal multiplexers'''. If you plan to spend a lot of time in the terminal, this powerful tool will help you get it done. Lets install it and plan to use it later.:<presource>
dnf install screen tmux && ln -s /usr/bin/true /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-screen
</presource> We # You will now set our your hostname to the Linux Distribution we are using.:<presource>
hostnamectl set-hostname fedora24 # Set hostname to distribution-name
</presource>
Installing vim(Vi IMproved) will give us syntax highlighting and allow for advanced customization for terminal editing.
