For this task, you need to write a tutorial (step-by-step instructions) that can be used by school learners to teach them how to use GeoServer and display a WMS layer with OpenLayers. You will need to install GeoServer and load a new layer. Use any open data file (e.g. from your cities open data portal or the World Bank portal) for this task. Then implement a basic web map with OpenLayers and display the GeoServer layer as a Web Map Service (WMS).

When you submit this task, you need to submit the following:

• Screenshot of your GeoServer list of layer preview showing the layer you loaded.
• Screenshot of your WMS layer shown on the web map.
• In both screenshots, open the terminal and type your name in it.
• Lastly, the PDF document with the tutorial including screenshots of the process.
