| - | + | * Getting a computing account | |
| + | Apply for a computing account on the HEP Linux cluster by sending e-mail to UCL HEP Computing Support. In your e-mail you have to state the reason for your application (e.g. medical physics student who will use GEANT4 on the HEP cluster). | ||
| - | + | You will receive an e-mail from the HEP computing support with your ''username'' and ''password''. Now you can log in to the HEP cluster plus1 via ssh ''username''@plus1.hep.ucl.ac.uk. Your personal area on plus1 cluster will be at /home/''username''/. | |
