Is it possible to use a Jupyter Notebook on the cluster?

There are multiple ways you can do this. You can either access via OOD (https://rc-docs.northeastern.edu/en/latest/using-ood/introduction.html), or via terminal. To access via terminal, some additional steps are needed-

  1. Login into discovery via terminal
  2. Get access to a compute node, and enter into it.
  3. Get the ip address of compute node using ifconfig command. It would be something like “inet 10.99.248.215”.
  4. Launch jupyter-notebook from compute node. A URL will be generated like below
    http://c2159:8888/?token=8a839ea30e9f4b30ae96d1ea8db7193b996f13db929b06f5
  5. Replace the initial node name (here c2159) by ip address. So the URL shall be-
    http://10.99.248.215:8888/?token=8a839ea30e9f4b30ae96d1ea8db7193b996f13db929b06f5

Paste this ip address into your browser. Now you can access jupyter notebook running on compute node. Make sure you are on NU network to access jupyter notebook in browser

Hi Srinjoy,
The VPN is maintained by NU ITS. You can find info about the Linux version in the NU Knowledge Base: https://northeastern.service-now.com/tech?id=kb_article&sys_id=29ee249cdb101810bb9fdbf0ce961916
Thanks,
Julia
