Note that WRF Tutorial instructors are not able to help with this process. If you cannot obtain help from a systems administrator at your institution, you will need to contact NCAR'S CISL HPC User Support

1. Open a teminal window on your local system.
   
   

   Note: If you are using a Windows system and don't know how to do this, See the Notes for Windows Users (note that this page is titled to be specific for running on an AWS cloud platform, but they can be generally helpful for this purpose, as well). Otherwise, if you have access to a systems administrator (or IT staff) at your institution, they should be able to help.

   
   


2. Type in the following command, but USE YOUR OWN USER NAME instead of "user".

   >ssh -Y user@derecho.hpc.ucar.edu

   then hit the "enter/return" key.



3. You should then see

   >(user@derecho.hpc.ucar.edu) ncar-two-factor:




4. Type your password here (which should be the password you set up using the instructions in the email you received from NSF NCAR/CISL).
   *Note* - your password will not display as you type it. This is normal. After you type it in, just hit the "enter/return" key.



5. At this point, if you have the DUO app installed on your phone, you should get a DUO notification like this.

   
   
   




6. Tap on the notification and it should take you to a screen that looks like the following.

   
   
   




7. Tough the "Approve" button and then you should be let in to the Derecho system.
