  2. Connect to DLS Linux via NoMachine and open a Firefox web browser and in the address bar enter: https://jupyterhub.diamond.ac.uk/

  3. After logging in you should see an interface like the first screenshot on the right hand side. Provide a name for your server and press Start.

  4. In the next window, select the level of resource needed for your server, then press Spawn.

  5. After pressing Spawn button with the selection above Jupyter interface will be opened at your /Home directory. You can either open a new notebook by pressing New drop down menu on the upper right hand side or opening an existing notebook (e.g. ones you have downloaded from ePSIC’s Github page - https://github.com/ePSIC-DLS/User-Notebooks ). You need to set the kernel to Python 3.10 - EPSIC to get access to ePSIC’s conda environment.
