Getting Started

This page introduces the basic information needed before using the MAEMOD research workstation.

1 What you need

Before logging in, you need:

• a workstation user account
• a password
• network access to the workstation
• an SSH client

If you do not yet have an account, contact the workstation administrator.

2 First login

From Linux, macOS, or Windows Terminal:

ssh username@mod-linux-ws01

Replace username with your own workstation username.

3 Change your password

After your first login, change your password:

passwd

Follow the instructions on screen.

4 Check your username

whoami

5 Check the hostname

hostname

You should see:

mod-linux-ws01

6 Check your home directory

pwd

Usually this will show something like:

/home/username

7 Check system status

sinfo

This checks the Slurm scheduler.

8 Basic etiquette

Please avoid running heavy computations directly in the login shell.

For long analyses, simulations, model fitting, or parallel jobs, use Slurm.
