This tutorial is intended mainly for new members of the Vojta research group to help them overcome the initial frustration with the Linux command prompt. So, if you know what a shell script is or how to use a make file this is not a place for you.

How to get started on the Pegasus cluster?

To connect to the Pegasus II cluster from your Windows desktop machine:

  • Download and install a Windows SSH (secure shell) client such as PuTTy.
