cloud_userwith the provided passwords.- On Both Linux Servers, Install the Program Called ELinks
Using whatever command is required, your task is to install the program called ELinks on each of the provided Linux servers.
Since 1 server is CentOS and 1 server is Ubuntu, the commands required for this installation will be different on each.
Note: It may take a few minutes after the lab has started before the servers are ready. If you are unable to log in, please wait a couple of minutes and try again.
- Create a Text File with Sample Data Inside, and Use the ELinks Program to Display It on Each of the Linux Servers
Using the appropriate command or an editor, add some sample text to the file called
test.txt. This file should be created on both of the servers.You can use the same text in each, or you can use different text. The task is to check that the ELinks program has been installed and is working by having it display the contents of the file.
The command to test that ELinks is working is:
elinks test.txt.
