If you have ANY questions, please send an email to the department 'issues' email alias (astro-issues@nmsu.edu) which goes to both Jon Holtzman and Zach Edwards. text/html 2025-12-04T19:40:52+00:00 astroadmin (astroadmin@undisclosed.example.com) http://astronomy.nmsu.edu/astro-wiki/doku.php?id=jupyter&rev=1764877252&do=diff 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. * Item Choose a port that is not being used on Astronomy.

Below is how you activate this environment. If you do not use this environment (and just the default python on the cluster), you will likely run into errors with package dependencies (as they are not installed on the default linux python!). text/html 2025-08-08T19:21:25+00:00 astroadmin (astroadmin@undisclosed.example.com) http://astronomy.nmsu.edu/astro-wiki/doku.php?id=virtual&rev=1754680885&do=diff Virtual Desktop We used to use the x2go client (found here for verbosity - <https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start>) - however, after installing Rocky9, this appear to be having issues. We now use VNC, which requires some set up by root (Zach or Jon).
