+<note important>Login the remote machine using (if you use Linux or MacOS):
+<code>

+===== The bash terminal=====
+Many tasks in the following weeks will need to be performed on the terminal (or 'command line').
+<note tip>
+If you use Mac OS X:
+In order to keep the terminal in the dock also after you close it, right click on the symbol and select 'Options' -> 'keep in dock'.

+Let's start with a list of useful commands -- just type them into the command line and confirm with ''RETURN''.
+<code bash>
+ls             # get list of files in the current directory
+mkdir molsim   # make directory 'molsim'
+cd             # change into your home directory
+cd molsim      # change into directory 'molsim'
+cd ..          # go up one directory
+pwd            # print path to the current working directory
+</code>
+Now it is time to copy some files from the teacher account.
+<code bash>
+cp ~student10/whatever.txt .               # copy 'whatever.txt' to you current folder
+scp your_username@remotehost.edu:foobar.txt /some/local/directory  #Copy the file "foobar.txt" from a remote host to the local host
+scp foobar.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory #Copy the file "foobar.txt" from the local host to a remote host
+</code>
+After this, please close and reopen your terminal in order to activate the course-specific
+settings you copied.
+We are now ready to get started. Below you find some additional commands that will come in handy later.
+<code bash>
+vim myfile      # opens 'myfile' in vim (less intuitive but more powerful command line text editor)
+vi myfile       # opens 'myfile' in vim (less intuitive but more powerful command line text editor)
