#log on to the server e.g.
ssh student@144.173.239.30
# type password
# change password if you're still using the original one
passwd
# type in old then new password
#Install some stuff
conda create --name python27 python=2.7
conda activate python27
conda install -c conda-forge scipy numpy matplotlib pandas jupyterlab
conda install -c conda-forge cartopy
conda install -c conda-forge iris
conda install -c conda-forge statsmodels
# note you should always choose y when asked.
#This will take up to 10 minutes because it takes a while for conda to find the right repository.
#you may see "failed" messages -- they should ignore these.
#NOTE You must type:
conda activate python27
# each time you log in.
#copy the files across (even if you've already done this)
scp -r /home/shared/S2P3Rv2.0 .
cd S2P3Rv2.0/forcing
