How-To

These are some useful technical resources for people using the computing resources maintained by the CS Department at Earlham College:

• Edit files remotely
• Set up ssh keys
• Make your shell be quiet when you log in rather than printing the MOTD
• Use the Linux command line
• Use our stuff with a Windows computer
• Mount a remote file system to your personal computer using sshfs
• Render markup in Jupyter notebooks
• Share a password securely (with one and only one person)
• Set up X Applications
• Using Earlham's local cluster computing resources
• Choosing a computing resource
• Working with large datasets
• WebMO (computational chemistry)
• Run the Discord bot
• Using Tkinter on Bowie
• Set up a VirtualBox VM

If you have a question about any of this send email to admin@cs.earlham.edu (messages from non-Earlham domains will be wait-listed).
