Access Matlab on the DECS Compute Servers via SSH from OSX

The following are instructions for running Matlab on one of the DECS compute servers using OSX.  This will make Matlab available to you wherever you have an internet connection.

1. Open a terminal window.  The terminal app is located in the utilities folder (Macintosh HD -> Applications -> Utilities).  You may find it helps to just drag the application to the dock.
    
2. In the command window enter:
   ssh username@scully.egr.msu.edu -Y
   (replace "username" with your engineering username)
   
3. Press enter and you should be prompted enter your EGR password.
    
4. After logging into scully, enter computeuse and hit enter.  This will give you a list of our available compute servers.
   
5. Pick a compute server and type in the following command:  
   ssh username@computeserver -Y
   (replace username with your engineering username and computeserver with one of our compute servers)
    
6. You may be requested to enter a password.  If that is the case, then enter your engineering password.  
    
7. Type "matlab" into the terminal, this should launch Matlab.
