 OK so there's not a lot of steps to go through here. Setting up the SSH tunnel itself is a one-command operation. My primary use-case is to launch jupyter-notebook, which adds a few more steps.

   - Enter your password at the prompt. The terminal may appear to hang; this is fine.

 To do this:
   - Open a second command line terminal. Type 'ssh my_login@astronomy.nmsu.edu' and enter your password at the prompt.
-  - Launch jupyter-notebook with the command 'jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port 1234'
+  - Activate the correct python environment via the command 'conda activate py3.11'
+  - Launch jupyter-notebook with the command 'jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port 1234' (**NOTE** the dashes in front of "no-browser" and "port" are double dashes "- -" with no space between them.
   - A short feed of messages will scroll by. Find the one that says "To access this notebook...", followed by a pathname, followed by "Or copy and paste one of these URLs:"
   - Copy the URL that starts with "http://localhost:1234". CAREFUL: Using ctrl-c to copy selected text will kill the notebook!
   - Paste the URL into your browser of choice. If all goes well, you'll be greeted by a the standard jupyter-notebook file browser screen!
+=== Important commands ===
+<code>
+ssh username@astronomy.nmsu.edu -NL 1234:localhost:1234
+conda activate py3.11
+jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port 1234
+</code>
 That's it! Now you can run Jupyter notebooks remotely to your heart's content.
+====== Jupyter on Virgo ======
+If you want to run Jupyter on Virgo, it is slightly different, Virgo is not allowed to directly talk to the outside in the same way that Astornomy can, as such, things are slightly different:
+From your local computer, you will want to run the command:
+<code>
+ssh -L 1236:localhost:1236 -J user@astronomy.nmsu.edu user@virgo
+</code>
+Remember "1236" is just some arbitray open port on astronomy.
+NOTE - you are double SSH'ing jumping through astronomy. You will have to input your password to BOTH astronomy and virgo (which should be the same).
+Then, in the same term (**you do not need to open a second term**), you can run:
+<code>
+conda activate py3.11
+jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port 1236
+</code>
+Where the port number should match the one used in the orignial SSH.
+You will then find the URL output by the command, and post that into your local broswer.
+Note, with how SSH port forwarding works, since you jumped through astronomy first, and it is listening, you don't need to open a second shell.
