Setup for programming projects
For general questions and help regarding CSE computing services, please contact Engineering Technology Services (ETS); details are available at this link
You will do all your work for the projects on the coelinux.coeit.osu.edu servers; details are available at this link
To access these servers off-campus, or when using the campus wireless network, you need to connect to the Ivanti VPN first; more details are available at this link. This step may be unnecessary if you are using a computer located in an ETS-managed computer labs on campus.
The projects use the Java programming language. To use Java on coelinux servers, execute module load openjdk from the command line. To avoid typing this command every time you log in, add module load openjdk at the end of your ~/.bashrc file.
Once you have loaded openjdk, execute java -version from the command line. You should see something like
openjdk version "24.0.1" 2025-04-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 24.0.1+9-30)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0.1+9-30, mixed mode, sharing)
