  1. Set up CLASSE account according to instructions in notification email:
    • Set password

  2. Log into CLASSE JupyterHub:
  3. Open Terminal in JupyterHub: [click for screenshot]
    • Launcher tab: Terminal
    • OR File → New → Terminal
    • To verify your current directory, type: pwd
      • The result should be your home directory: /home/<your username>
         
  4. Your home directory should be reserved for administrative uses. Instead, change directory to your CHESS user directory:
    • Type: cd /nfs/chess/user/<your username>
      • If the directory does not exist, first type:
        mkdir /nfs/chess/user/<your username>
    • [Optional, for advanced users in the morning sessions]
      Follow along with the Jupyter notebooks:
      • Type: cp -R /nfs/chess/user/x-cite/X-CITE .
        • OR type: git clone git@github.com:RENCI-NRIG/X-CITE.git
      • In JupyterHub, navigate to .ipynb files in
        CLASSE_shortcuts/chess_[username]/X-CITE/theme1/PE100, PE101, or PE102

         
  5. Copy tutorial examples:
    • Verify your current directory by typing: pwd
      • If the result is not /nfs/chess/user/<your username>, then go back to Step 4
    • Type: cp -R /nfs/chess/user/x-cite/X-CITE/theme4/XS101/CHAP-Training-Examples-Materials .
      • N.B.: There is a space and a period at the end of that last command!

      • Type commands into the Terminal window on JupyterHub
