C++ course

Prerequisites

Installation instructions

• install Docker (community edition): https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/#cloud
  • Docker for Windows if you have Windows 10 Pro (with Hyper V support)
  • Docker Toolbox if you have Windows 10 Home
• pull the image for this course: docker pull geal/cpp-course
• get a shell inside the image
  • if you installed Docker Toolbox: docker run -t -i -v $(pwd):/opt/course geal/cpp-course /bin/bash
  • if you installed Docker For Windows, in a CMD: docker run -t -i -v /c/Users/v-tre_nom_d_utilisateur/Desktop:/opt/course geal/cpp-course /bin/bash

Incompatibilities with VMWare

• Docker for Windows: apparently, VMWare cannot be used concurrently with Docker because Docker uses Hyper V. You can activate (for this course) or deactivate (for your vmware course) Hyper V by following the instructions at https://superuser.com/questions/540055/convenient-way-to-enable-disable-hyper-v-in-windows-8
• Docker Toolbox: you can launch VMWare if you temprarily deactivate VirtualBox's network interfaces

shell commands

• cd name change the current directory to name
• pwd shows the full path of the current directory
• ls slists all the files in the current directory
• mkdir name will create the folder name
• rm name will delete the file name
• g++ main.cpp -o program will compile the main.cpp file to the program file, that you can then launch with the command ./program
