Instructor: Hello, in this lecture I'm going to cover
about Linux running on a Web Browser,
what does it really mean?
It means that if you do not have enough resources
on your personal computer,
or if you wanted to just test or run certain commands
on a Linux machine as a practice,
and you don't want to run them on your own Linux machine
then the best way to do is you could open up a browser,
and there are certain websites that allows you
to actually start up a Linux instance on their server
but you could actually access it through your web browser.
It's just like that, given this, this is a screenshot
of one of the web server that allows me to run Linux,
so I do not have any preference which one you pick,
so the way I do it, I go to the Internet Explorer
or Firefox or whichever browsers you have,
and I would type run linux in browser.
Then it'll give you a lot of different options
or it will actually take you
to a lot of different other websites
that allows you to run Linux on the browser.
So if I were to pick the first one,
it takes me to a website called GEEKFLARE,
anyway, this website is not something that I am promoting
or I have any affiliation with,
it's just that something came up on my search
and it has a list of all the web browser,
like run linux from web browser with these six websites,
so the first one is JSLinux,
Copy.sh, Webminal, Tutorial Point and so on,
you could pick anyone you like
as long as you are able to get onto the console or terminal
and run your commands.
So if I pick the first one, JSLinux,
it actually takes me to this website
which is right now starting up my Linux machine,
so I'm gonna leave that as is.
If I go to Copy.sh, which is right here,
which has already started the Linux machine for me,
and you notice I have logged in as root,
and I do ls-ltr, I'll see, there is commands,
I could also create files, I created test file earlier
and I could do again ABC file and it runs a,
and it created the files.
So you have access to this linux machine as root,
so of course you could run many commands
and if you wanted to practice before you run the command
in production and you do not have a QA or lab environment,
you could actually use these resources that are free online
to run and test your commands.
Just like that, I have another one
which is on mass rack at some JSLinux and here you notice,
who am I? There's no command like that,
but ls-l has it.
So touch ABC, do ls-ltr
and it says that it has created my file,
again which ever that you think is the website
that is actually allowing you to run a certain commands
as for practice or as well as run them
before you run them in production,
these are the resources that you could use.
Alright, so if you have any questions, let me know,
again, if you have a Linux machine on your virtual box,
that is the best option, you could do whatever you want,
but if you don't want to use that
or if you have limited resources
and you want to use one of these Linux machines
on the browser then this is the way you could access it.
One of my students actually recommended me
that I should share this as a resource with other students,
so thank you so much, of course,
and for those people who wants to learn more about it,
go ahead and do Google search
and you will find them tons of resources out there
where you could run Linux machine on
or through the web browser, alright, good luck.
