Using a terminal window

First, we need to start an application named Terminal

Select one of the following based on your location

1. Apple computers in the lab: Once you have a terminal window open, you are set to go to the next step. Click the next button at the bottom of the page.
2. Your personal Apple computer: Once you have a terminal window open, you will need to connect to the linus-public.highpoint.edu. In the terminal window, enter the following ssh command replacing the user name with your assigned user name.
   

   ssh username@linus-public.highpoint.edu
   

   If all is correct, you will receive a message to enter your password. Warning, you will not see the password as you type, you have to enter it blindly. If you make a mistake, it will display an error message. Once you are logged into the system, you should see somethink like,

   [rshore@linus-public rshore]$

   where rshore is replaced by your own username.

Whenever I ask you to "type the command...", do so in the terminal window. Be sure to type anything in courier font exactly!
