CSE 2451

Programming Environment
Tong Liang
Overview
• UNIX – Linux introduction
• Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
• Setup Linux virtual machine
• Student Linux server of OSU
• UNIX/Linux commands
• gcc commands
UNIX
• UNIX is a multi-user and multi-tasking operating system
• Multi-user: Multiple users can use the system at the same time
• Multi-tasking: Multiple processes (programs) can run at the same time

• UNIX is originally developed with assembly language and later


reimplemented with C – C starts to gain popularity

• Our course’s programming environment is UNIX/Linux


How do I get access to UNIX?
• UNIX has some free version for development use
• Use Linux instead of UNIX, it’s a “clone” of UNIX without using its
code, a free and open-source alternative to proprietary UNIX system
• Three ways to get Linux (pick one that works for you):
• Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with default Ubuntu distribution
of Linux (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) – no
graphic user interface (GUI)
• Import a Linux virtual machine (preinstalled virtual machine image is provided
on carmen: windows, mac) – with GUI
• OSU provides Linux server for students to use - supports both ssh access and
GUI
Import Linux Virtual Machine
• This is a virtual machine with Ubuntu OS that
contains a complete development
environment for C
• Download and Install VirtualBox
• Download the virtual machine image from
the class page (or download link below)
• Windows
• Mac

• Load virtual machine image


• Open VirtualBox
• Select File -> Import Appliance
• Select virtual machine image you downloaded
• Complete the import
Configuration of Virtual Machine
• Adjust the CPU and memory available to the virtual machine
• Go to settings -> System -> motherboard -> processor
• Try to set these as high as possible while remaining in the green zone
Start the Linux Virtual Machine
• Open VirtualBox
• Click on the cse2451 virtual machine to select it
• Click the associated green arrow to start the virtual machine
• Username: cse2451
• Password: cse2451
Display Size of Virtual Machine Screen
• The display resolution may be too low when you first start the
machine
• Click on the top right power off button -> settings - > display
• Then adjust the screen resolution to fit your monitor
Programs used in Virtual Machine
• Key programs
• Linux terminal: an efficient command-based way to interact with the system
• Visual Studio Code: a free, open-source text editor and development
environment

terminal Visual Studio Code


Using Visual Studio Code
• Create a new folder – your project folder
• Launch Visual Studio Code from the side bar

• Click on open folder in VS code


• Pick the newly created project folder
Using Visual Studio Code
• To start coding, create a new file in VS code
• Name the file, ending with “.c”

• Write your code in the newly created .c file


Using Visual Studio Code
• Click on Terminal on the menu bar of VS code
• Select New Terminal (An alternative to the actual terminal program,
which might be easier to use.)
• You can then compile and run your code
Access Student Linux Server – no GUI
• Setup Pulse Secure VPN for off-campus remote access
• Download Pulse Secure VPN here
• Installation guide here:
• Windows
• MacOS
• Download Duo Mobile (verification app)
• Connect Pulse Secure VPN with your OSU student account

• Open a terminal on your own computer


• Windows: command prompt or PowerShell
• MacOS: terminal

• Remote access student Linux Server via ssh in terminal


• Server address: coelinux.coeit.osu.edu
• Type the following command in your terminal: ssh [email protected]
• Replace name.number with your OSU student username dot number, e.g., [email protected]
• Enter your OSU account password in the follow up prompt
• Additional information on remote access: https://ets.osu.edu/ets-wiki
Access Student Linux Server – with GUI
• Setup Pulse Secure VPN for off-campus remote access
• The same as previous slides
• Setup FastX
• FastX installation guide here
• Remote access student Linux Server via FastX
• Create a FastX connection to Linux server, replace the user with your
own name.number
• Launch the connection by double click and enter your OSU student
account’s password
• After login, click on the + button
• Select XFCE in the pop-up window to enter GUI
UNIX/Linux Commands – navigation
• Basic commands

Command Meaning

ls list files and directories

mkdir directory make a directory

cd directory change to named directory

cd change to home-directory

cd .. change to parent directory

pwd display the path of the current directory


UNIX/Linux Commands – file manipulation
• More useful commands

Command Meaning
cp file1 file2 copy file1 and call it file2
mv file1 file2 move or rename file1 to file2
rm file remove a file
rmdir directory remove an empty directory
cat file display a file
less file display a file a page at a time
grep 'keyword' file search a file for keyword
touch file Create a file named file
UNIX/Linux Commands – redirect input/output
• More useful commands

Command Meaning
command > file redirect standard output to a file
command >> file append standard output to a file
command < file redirect standard input from a file
command1 | command2 pipe the output of command1 to the input of command2
cat file1 file2 > file0 concatenate file1 and file2 to file0
sort file sort file data line-by-line
who list users currently logged in

cat file1 file2 | grep keyword:


Concatenate file1 and file2, then pipe the output to search for keyword
UNIX/Linux Commands
• Manual pages give information about commands, C libraries,
functions, and more
• Type man <name> at the terminal to read the manual
• man gcc

• man 3 printf Specifies the section numbers of the manual


about printf (e.g., 1 for executable programs, 2 for
system calls, 3 for library calls )

• man man
Use man command to tell you how to use the
man command
How to stop a process?
• Foreground processes: Press CONTROL and C
• Background processes:
• ps:
• shows running programs
• pkill program:
• Asks program to stop
• pkill -9 program:
• Forces program to stop
Text Editors
• Terminal Editors
• nano
• Emacs
• vim

• Graphic Editors
• Visual Studio Code
• gedit Text Editor
• Emacs

Compile Source Code and Run Program
• Open a terminal
• Navigate to the folder storing your source code (e.g.,
/home/liang.693/slides/CSE2451/test) with cd command
• Use gcc to build your program (enter the following cmd in terminal):
program we are running Input arguments we are passing to the program (gcc)

gcc hello.c –o myprogram –std=c99

Building tools: Source file -o myprogram: -std=c99:


gcc/clang path -o specifying the following specifying which standard (c99) the
argument (myprogram) is gcc compiler should use to convert
the name of the output file the C code to executable program
Compile Source Code and Run Program
• Successful compilation/build of the program -> no return error
message displays in terminal
• The output program file should be at the same directory of the source
code unless specified otherwise
• At the directory of the executable program file (named
“myprogram”), run the following command in terminal:

./myprogram
