Several issues were observed during the task-2 submissions. Taking into account the need for uniformity and to ensure the minimization of errors, we request all participants to set up either VirtualBox for Linux or install an Ubuntu OS. They support all Command line functionalities and will certainly help in the long run, considering the need for a Linux based OS throughout the duration of the program. This would also help in ensuring that queries of most participants can be properly addressed.
