+. Log into your account using on the cluster using [[http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net|MobaXterm]] (see above)
+  $ ssh dsl.saintpeters.edu
+. Once logged in, run the following:
+  $ jupyter-notebook --generate-config
+. Edit the config file (use ''vi'' or ''nano''):
+  $ nano .jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py
+. Change this line:
+   #c.NotebookApp.ip = 'localhost'
+. To the following (note remove "#") save and exit:
+   c.NotebookApp.ip = '127.0.0.1'
+. Now run from MobaXterm command line:
+  $ anaconda-navigator

 ==== Use TensorFlow ====
-TBC
+Tensorflow is available as part of Anaconda Python. The easiest (and recommended) way to use Tensorflow with Python through the high level [[https://keras.io/guides/|Keras]] library.
+It is also possible to use [[https://pythonprogramming.net/tensorflow-introduction-machine-learning-tutorial/|low level Tensorflow]] directly.
+**Note:** Python Keras and Tensorflow can be used on any workstation, Only three workstations have GPUs (limulus7-tf, limulus8-tf, limulus9-tf), however both Keras and Tensorflow will run without using a GPU (applications will run slower).
