CreateCourse

To create a course:

Use ssh to log into the webapp server. Either log into the cloud account directly, or log into an account that can execute the sudo command.

If you didn't log into the cloud account directly, switch to the cloud account:

sudo su cloud

Once you are running as the cloud user, change directory to the directory containing the web application jar file: if you used the Bootstrap script, use the command:

cd /home/cloud/webapp

Now, use the webapp jar file to run the createcourse command:

java -jar cloudcoderApp.jar createcourse

You will be prompted to enter information about the course you want to create. Here is an example session:
