Since this is an online course, you will have to have a computer with internet access ready. The Zoom desktop app is highly recommended, because the in-browser version of Zoom does not allow screen sharing. This means that we cannot help you during the exercise.
Your computer does not have to have Linux installed, Mac OS and Windows are also possible.
If you use a Windows computer, we will use MobaXTerm to connect to the HoRUS cluster. You may install MobaXTerm before the course to save time, but in any case we will cover connecting to the cluster in detail during the first exercise. On Linux or Mac OS, no additional software is necessary.
If you do use your own Linux computer, any distribution is fine, only topics that are distribution-independent will be covered. We will not have time to cover Linux installation however.
You do not need access to the HorUS cluster to participate, but you may use your own account if you prefer.
Simply send an e-mail to jan.steiner@uni-siegen.de to register.
If you are interested but do not have time on the specified date, please notify us as well. We will hold another course if enough people are interested.
