This guide will provide off-campus access to the IGM HPC Cluster, providing a graphical environment. If you only require command line, off-campus, access then please see this post.
* Prerequisites
Mac users will need to download the latest version of Microsoft Remote Desktop. Note that the original version of this software is not compatible. You must download the free version that is available from the App Store.
Windows users just need to be familiar with the Microsoft Remote Desktop program that is installed on all Windows computers.
In order to access the HPC from off-campus, we need to alter some settings within the Microsoft Remote Desktop program, so this guide will be split into the Apple Mac Edition and the Windows Edition.
