The following instructions require you have an active HPRC account. To apply or renew go to https://hprc.tamu.edu/apply/ . If you are off campus, you will need to use VPN to connect to the cluster.

  1. Login to Grace using a terminal (your username is your NetID):

    ssh username@grace.tamu.edu
  2. Go to your scratch directory:

    cd $SCRATCH
  3. Clone the notebook repository that we'll need from github:

    git clone https://github.com/abishekg7/python_geos.git

    Or

    Copy the notebooks locally from Grace scratch:

    cp -r /scratch/training/python_geos/notebooks .
  4. If you cloned the git repository before Friday, you may want to check if there have been any updates. From your cloned directory, do:

    git pull origin main
  5. When the short course starts, you will need to connect to https://portal.hprc.tamu.edu/ (requires VPN if off campus).
  6. The conda virtual environment we'll be using for this course is at /scratch/training/python_geos/conda/envs/training
    You will need to enter this path when starting your JupyterLab session.
  7. To launch the Pangeo binder, required towards the end of the class, use the following link:
