This option will provide Mac users with a full graphical Linux desktop environment. There is a separate guide for those that require command line only access.<\/p>\n

* Prerequisites<\/p>\n

(1) You need to download Microsoft’s *new* version of Microsoft Remote Desktop (version 8.0)<\/p>\n

(2) A working Internet connection. Please NOTE: The quality of your connection is determined by your Internet Service Provider. Contact your ISP if you are not happy with the consistent quality of the connection between yourself and the University. Your external connection is not the responsibility of either the University or the IGM.<\/p>\n

* NOTE!<\/p>\n

You should not run jobs on the login or head node<\/p>\n

Graphical\/Interactive software, like The Integrative Genomics Viewer, require that you run it via a QRSH session. Indeed, if you are in any doubt that your commands will place stress on the login node, simply issue qrsh at the terminal, and then try your commands from there.<\/p>\n

When finished with your session, please log out correctly \u2013 most users forget to do this correctly.<\/p>\n

________________________________________________<\/p>\n

* Download and Install the newest version of Microsoft\u2019s Remote Desktop 8 for Mac<\/p>\n

You can find this via the App Store:<\/p>\n

Apple menu
\nApp Store
\nIn the search field, type microsoft remote
\nClick the install button next to “Microsoft Remote Desktop” icon<\/p>\n

* Launch Microsoft Remote Desktop<\/p>\n

________________________________________________<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s add the most important part first, the settings needed for the Newcastle University Terminal Services Gateway. Click on the Preferences icon.<\/p>\n

Click on + icon
\nGateway name = newcastle university
\nServer = tsgateway.ncl.ac.uk
\nUser name = your ISS username. As suggested, use the CAMPUS\\ format e.g my ISS username is nas18 but here I must enter CAMPUS\\nas18
\nPassword = your ISS password<\/p>\n

Close this windows<\/p>\n

________________________________________________<\/p>\n

Click the “+ New” icon<\/p>\n

Connection name = anything, eg lampredi2 off-campus
\nPC name = lampredi2.ncl.ac.uk
\nGateway = Newcastle university
\nUsername = your lampredi2 username (do NOT use campus\/ format here)
\nPassword = your lampredi2 password
\nResolution = experiment but 1024×768 or 1280×1024 seem sensible<\/p>\n
