A quick guide to linux commands exist on the page below

We will also look briefly at command line on Windows
(in DOS or Supershell)
You can command line in Houdini in mantra on
either system, however our renderfarm is linux based. We
will revisit this concept in V350/V721 and perhaps later in the
quarter.
HOMEWORK
- Download and unzip the following data files data.zip
- You are are read in the data, grab the x and y coordinates of the points (they are ordered in x,y,z order) and draw them with the turtle as demonstrated in class.
- If you have completed today's and last day's homework, continue with the hurricane exercise which is due next class.
For those of your with Houdini experience - I created the data files in Houdini for this exercise using a python script inside Houdini. As a challenge, create a similar script. As a bonus challenge, rather than using a trace node, create a method to use a 3D object outline.
