Setup instructions will be sent by email to all participants with information on:
- How to get an account for computational resources with Notur and project NN1000K
- How to get an account for storage resources with NIRD/Norstore and project NS1000K
- How to login (username and password) to the jupyterhub instance that we will be using for analyzing and visualizing model outputs.
For the course, you will need to bring your laptop:
Linux users
Make sure you have installed a recent version of google-chrome (required for the jupyterhub). You may try to use other web browser but we cannot guarantee that all functionalities will be available.
Mac-OSX users
You cannot use Safari for the Jupyterhub, so make sure you install a recent version of google-chrome.
In order to avoid issues with the local environment language/keyboard variables when login on Saga from your Mac you can either:
Option A) On your Mac
- Open a terminal
- Go into the Preferences
- Then into the Advanced tab for the terminal settings profile (Basic)
- At the bottom untick the option to Set local environment variables on startup
Note that this only affects new terminals, not those that are already open.
Option B) On Saga
- Set the language environment variable with the command export LC_ALL=$LANG
Windows users
As for other operating systems, you would need a recent web browser and we strongly suggest to use google-chrome as all the tutorial has been tested with it.
In addition, you need to install MobaXterm an enhanced terminal for Windows with X11 server, tabbed SSH client, network tools and much more.
