CreateCourse

Creating a course is currently an adminstrative command, so follow the directions in AdminCommands to log into the server, switch to the cloud account, and change directory to the directory containing the webapp jar file.

Use the webapp jar file to run the createcourse command:

java -jar cloudcoderApp-vX.Y.Z.jar createcourse

Replace X.Y.Z with the version number of the CloudCoder release you're running.
