Introduction: This workshop will introduce users on how to remotely access the clusters and how to set up and personalize their environment for their computational needs. After the workshop, participants will understand:
How to set up various environments allowing the use of a variety of programming languages, applications, libraries and utilities.
Notes:
Participants will require an intro level of experience of using Linux, the ability to use a text editor from the command line, and knowledge on how to access the cluster.
We have tried to make the examples as generic as possible. You will need to replace
<project-name>and<username>with appropriate values that apply to you.
