1. Log in to IDAS from https://notebooksidas.hpc.uiowa.edu/.
2. Start a Terminal session in IDAS. There are 2 ways to do this:
a) If you spawned an RStudio instance Option 1: From RStudio interface in IDAS: Click the "Terminal" tab, which is next to the "Console" tab in RStudio.
b) If you spawned a Option 2: From Jupyter Hub instanceinterface in IDAS: This is helpful if you can't get to the RStudio interface.
- After logging in to IDAS from Go to (fill in your HawkID) - https://notebooks.hpcidas.uiowa.edu/, you will be at the Jupyter Hub tree page. research/user/HAWKID/lab
- In the upper right corner of the page, click New / Terminal Select Terminal from the Other section to start a bash session:
