 +=== Run Anaconda Navigator on Your Laptop ===
 +
 +You will need to be on the campus wireless network for this procedure to work. General internet access is not available. The following procedure is run from the command line.
 +
 +1. Log into your account using on the cluster using [[http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net|MobaXterm]] (see above) 
 +
 +  $ ssh dsl.saintpeters.edu
 +
 +2. Once logged in, run the following:
 +
 +  $ jupyter-notebook --generate-config
 +
 +3. Edit the config file (use ''vi'' or ''nano''):
 +
 +  $ nano .jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py
 +
 +4. Change this line:
 +
 +   #c.NotebookApp.ip = 'localhost'
 +
 +5. To the following (note remove "#") save and exit:
 +
 +   c.NotebookApp.ip = '127.0.0.1'
 +
 +6. Now run from MobaXterm command line:
 +
 +  $ anaconda-navigator

 **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). **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).

 +**Testing:** You can test tensorflow using the following: (on limulus7-tf, limulus8-tf, limulus9-tf)
 +
 +<code>
 +$ use_conda
 +$ python   /opt/cluster/public/apps/testing/test-cuda.py 
 +
 +Num CPUs Available:  1
 +Num GPUs Available:  1
 +</code>
 +
 +GPUs will be present on limulus7-tf, limulus8-tf, limulus9-tf, all otheer nodes will show just one CPU.
 +
 +**GPU Monitoring:** You can use ''nvidia-smi'' to monitor the GPU. You must be logged into the GPU system.
