Login details have been provided in the course.
Once you have made the initial setup, you can
run the command 'tutorial_update' at any time
to update the course files.
If you are using a UNIX-derived system (Linux, MacOS),
it is quite convenient (and sometimes necessary to avoid
problems) to do the following:
1. cd $HOME/.ssh
2. (Edit the file named 'config' with your favorite editor,
to add the following stanza (with your number instead of 116 !):
#-------------
Host s116
HostName nord1.bsc.es
User nct01116
Protocol 2
ForwardX11 true
ForwardX11Trusted true
#-------------
Afterwards you can just do:
ssh s116
to connect to your account, and to properly forward
the graphics data.
Some versions of the XQuartz programs in the Mac exhibit
an obscure bug that prevents the VESTA and XCrysden programs
to work when executed in the School's computers with a
remote display on the Mac.
The fix is to issue this command at the Mac's terminal:
defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 enable_iglx -bool true
