<h4><a href="https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Desktop/" target="_blank">UBUNTU</a></h4>
<strong>About UBUNTU:</strong> Ubuntu is built upon the <a href="https://www.debian.org/" target="_blank">Debian architecture</a>, inheriting its stability and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_software_package_management_systems" target="_blank">package management system</a>.
Debian refers to an operating system or distribution that is built upon the Debian Linux distribution. Debian is one of the oldest and most influential Linux distributions, known for its commitment to free and open-source software principles.
Debian package files typically have the extension <code>.deb</code>.
Many other <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions" target="_blank">Linux distributions</a>, including Ubuntu, are derived from Debian.
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Versions: </strong>Ubuntu has two types of releases - Long Term Support (LTS) and regular releases. LTS versions are supported for five years, providing a stable platform, while regular releases are supported for nine months and include the latest features.</li>
<li><strong>Desktop Environments: </strong>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity" target="_blank">Unity (discontinued)</a>:</strong> Historically, Ubuntu used the Unity desktop environment. However, starting from version 17.04, Ubuntu switched back to GNOME as its default desktop environment.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.gnome.org/" target="_blank">GNOME</a>:</strong> The default desktop environment for Ubuntu since version 17.04, known for its simplicity and flexibility.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Package Management: </strong>Ubuntu uses APT (<a href="https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/package-management" target="_blank">Advanced Package Tool</a>) for package management. It simplifies the process of installing, updating, and removing software packages.
The <code>apt</code> command is a powerful command-line tool, which works with Ubuntu’s Advanced Packaging Tool (APT). Some examples of popular uses for the apt is: <br>
<pre><code>sudo apt upgrade</code></pre>
</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://ubuntu.com/blog/tag/ubuntu-software-center" target="_blank"> Software Center</a>: </strong>A user-friendly graphical interface for managing software on Ubuntu. Users can browse and install applications with ease.</li>
<li><strong>Community and Support:</strong>Ubuntu has a vast and active user community. Online forums, documentation, and community-driven support contribute to its accessibility for users of all levels.</li>

<h3>Chapter-3: Understanding the File System</h3>
<p>The file system is a crucial component of any operating system. It organizes and manages files and directories, providing a structured way to store and retrieve data. Here are some fundamental concepts:</p>
<figure>
<img src="assets/img/data-engineering/file-systems-ubuntu.jpg" alt="" style="max-width: 80%; max-height: 80%;">
<figcaption style="text-align: center;"><strong>Image credit:</strong><a href="index.html"> Arun Kumar Pandey</a> </figcaption>
</figure>
<ol>
<li><strong>Directory Structure</strong></li>
<p>The file system is organized into a hierarchical structure with directories (folders) and files. Each directory can contain files and subdirectories, creating a tree-like structure.</p>
<li><strong>Path Notation</strong></li>
<p>Paths are used to specify the location of a file or directory. Absolute paths start from the root directory ("/" in Unix-like systems), while relative paths are relative to the current working directory.</p>
<li><strong>Common Directories</strong></li>
<p>Several standard directories have specific purposes:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/</code>: The root directory.</li>
<li><code>/home</code>: Home directories for users.</li>
<li><code>/bin</code>: Essential command binaries.</li>
<li><code>/etc</code>: System configuration files.</li>
<li><code>/var</code>: Variable data, such as logs and spool files.</li>
<li><code>/tmp</code>: Temporary files.</li>
</ul>
<li><strong>File Permissions</strong></li>
<p>Files and directories have associated permissions, specifying who can read, write, or execute them. Permissions are represented in a symbolic or numeric notation.</p>
<li><strong>File Types</strong></li>
<p>Files can be of various types, including regular files, directories, symbolic links, and device files. The <code>file</code> command can be used to determine the file type.</p>
<!-- Include a code block for better formatting -->
<pre>
<code class="language-bash">
# Example: Using the file command
file filename
</code>
</pre>
<p>Understanding these concepts is essential for effective navigation and management of the file system in the terminal.</p>

<h3>Chapter-8: Shell Scripting for Automation</h3>
Bash scripting is a powerful tool that can significantly enhance your productivity on Ubuntu. As a data professional, automating repetitive tasks through scripting not only saves time but also ensures consistency in your processes. In this chapter, we'll explore the basics of Bash scripting and guide you through writing simple scripts tailored for automating common tasks.
<br>
<ul>
<li><strong>Understanding Bash Scripting: </strong>Bash (Bourne Again SHell) is the default shell for Ubuntu, providing a command-line interface to interact with the operating system. Bash scripting allows you to automate sequences of commands, making it a valuable skill for streamlining tasks.</li>
<li><strong>Writing Your First Script: </strong>Let's start by creating a simple "Hello World" script to get familiar with the basics. Open a text editor on Ubuntu, such as Nano or Vim, and create a new file, for example, hello.sh. Add the following lines:
<pre><code class="language-python">
#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello, World!"
</code></pre>
Save the file and exit the text editor. Make the script executable by running:
<pre><code class="language-bash">chmod +x hello.sh</code></pre>
Now, you can execute your script:
<pre><code>./hello.sh</code></pre>
Congratulations! You've just written and executed your first Bash script.
</li>
<li><strong>Variables and Input: </strong>Bash allows you to use variables to store and manipulate data. Let's enhance our script to take input from the user:
<pre><code class="language-python">
#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter your name:"
read username
echo "Hello, $username! Welcome to the world of Bash scripting."
</code></pre>
<figure>
<img src="assets/img/data-engineering/scripting.png" alt="" style="max-width: 80%; max-height: 80%;">
<figcaption></figcaption>
</figure>
</li>
<li><strong>Conditional Statements: </strong>Bash supports conditional statements for decision-making in scripts. For example, let's create a script that checks if a number is even or odd:
<pre><code class="language-python">
#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter a number:"
read num
if [ $((num % 2)) -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$num is even."
else
echo "$num is odd."
fi
</code></pre>
Once you run the file 'hello.sh' using <code>./hello.sh</code>, it will ask a number (lets suppose it is 12). If number is even then it will give <code></code>12 is even</code>.
</li>
<li><strong>Looping Constructs: </strong>For automating repetitive tasks, loops are crucial. Consider a script that prints numbers from 1 to 5:
<pre><code class="language-python">
#!/bin/bash
for i in {1..5}; do
echo $i
done
</code></pre>
Run the script to observe how it iterates through the loop, printing numbers from 1 to 5.
</li>
<li><strong>File Backup Script: </strong>
Create a script that automatically backs up specified files or directories to a backup folder.
<pre><code class="language-python">
#!/bin/bash
backup_dir="backup_folder" # Defines the name of the backup directory
source_dir="source_folder" # Defines the name of the source directory
mkdir -p $backup_dir # Creates the backup directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p $source_dir
cp -r $source_dir/* $backup_dir/ # Copies all files from the source directory to the backup directory recursively
echo "Backup completed successfully!" # Prints a message indicating that the backup process is completed
</code></pre>
This script creates a backup folder if it doesn't exist and copies the contents of the source folder into it.
</li>
<li><strong>Data Processing Script: </strong>
Suppose you have a set of CSV files, and you want to concatenate them into a single file for analysis.
<pre><code class="language-python">
#!/bin/bash
output_file="merged_data.csv"
cat *.csv > $output_file
echo "Data merged successfully into $output_file."
</code></pre>
This script uses the cat command to concatenate all CSV files in the current directory into a single file.
</li>
<li><strong>Log Analysis Script: </strong>
Create a script to analyze and extract relevant information from log files.
<pre><code class="language-python">
#!/bin/bash
log_file="application.log"
error_count=$(grep -c "ERROR" $log_file)
echo "Number of errors in the log file: $error_count"
</code></pre>
This script uses grep to count the occurrences of the word "ERROR" in a log file. Here <code>-c</code> counts the occurrences of 'ERROR' in the log file.
</li>
<li><strong>Automated Data Download Script: </strong>
Automate the download of data from a specified URL.
<pre><code class="language-python">
#!/bin/bash
download_url="https://example.com/data.zip"
output_dir="downloaded_data"
mkdir -p $output_dir
wget $download_url -P $output_dir
echo "Data downloaded to $output_dir."
</code></pre>
This script uses wget to download data from a URL and saves it to the specified directory. The <code>-p</code> option ensures that the command does not produce an error if the directory already exists. <code>wget</code> is a command-line utility used to download files from the internet. The option <code>-P $output_dir</code> tells <code>wget</code> to save the downloaded file to the directory specified by the <code>$output_dir</code> variable.
</li>
<li><strong>System Information Scrip: </strong>
Create a script that provides essential system information.
<pre><code class="language-python">
#!/bin/bash
echo "System Information:"
echo "-------------------"
echo "Hostname: $(hostname)"
echo "CPU: $(grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo | uniq)"
echo "Memory: $(free -h | grep Mem | awk '{print $2}')"
echo "Disk Space: $(df -h | grep '/dev/sda1' | awk '{print $4}') available"
</code></pre>
This script retrieves and displays information about the system, including hostname, CPU, memory, and disk space. The $(...) syntax is used to execute the command within the parenthesis and include its output in the string. The line <code>"CPU: $(grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo | uniq)"</code> prints the CPU model information by searching the <code>/proc/cpuinfo</code> file for lines containing "model name" and then using <code>uniq</code> to remove duplicate lines if any. This ensures that only unique CPU model information is displayed. Next <code>"Memory: $(free -h | grep Mem | awk '{print $2}')"</code> prints the total memory size of the system. It uses the <code>free -h</code> command to display memory information in a human-readable format (<code>-h</code> option), then <code>grep Mem</code> filters out the line containing "<code>Mem</code>", and <code>awk '{print $2}'</code> extracts the second column, which represents the total memory size.
</li>
<li><strong>Extracting data from API and data analytics: </strong> This Bash script is designed to perform data analytics tasks on data retrieved from an API endpoint.
<pre><code class="language-python">
#!/bin/bash
# Set the URL for data download
data_url="https://api.example.com/data_endpoint"
# Set the output file names
raw_data_file="raw_data.json"
transformed_data_file="transformed_data.csv"
# Step 1: Download Data from API
wget $data_url -O $raw_data_file
# Step 2: Transform Data (Example using jq)
# Modify this section based on your actual data transformation needs
cat $raw_data_file | jq '.data | map({timestamp: .timestamp, value: .data_field})' > $transformed_data_file
# Step 3: Data Analytics (Example using Python and pandas)
python3 << EOF
#here there should not be space between << and EOF as when it is written here comment all lines afterward.
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Read transformed data into a pandas DataFrame
data = pd.read_csv("$transformed_data_file")
# Time Series Plot
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.plot(data['timestamp'], data['value'], label='Data Value')
plt.title('Time Series Plot')
plt.xlabel('Timestamp')
plt.ylabel('Value')
plt.legend()
plt.savefig('time_series_plot.png')
plt.close()
# Additional Relevant Plots and Analytics
# Add your specific data analytics and plots here
EOF
# Step 4: Cleanup (Optional)
# Uncomment the line below if you want to delete the raw data file after processing
# rm $raw_data_file
echo "Data analytics completed successfully. Plots saved as time_series_plot.png and others as needed."
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>The first three lines, define variables for the URL from which to download the data (data_url), as well as the names of the output files for the raw data (<code>raw_data_file</code>) and the transformed data (<code>transformed_data_file</code>).</li>
<li>In the Step-1, the <code>wget</code> command to download data from the specified API endpoint (<code>$data_url</code>) and save it to the file specified by <code>$raw_data_file</code>.</li>
<li>Step-2, transforms the raw data using <code>jq</code>, a command-line JSON processor. It reads the contents of the raw data file (<code>$raw_data_file</code>), applies a transformation using <code>jq</code> to select specific fields (<code>timestamp</code> and <code>data_field</code>), and saves the transformed data to the file specified by <code>$transformed_data_file</code>.</li>
</ul>
