This fortnight's webinar is about NCI's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

  • How to run Jupyter notebooks on VDI

Prerequisite for this Webinar:

  • If you are a NCI user, I encourage you to install the VDI on your computer before the webinar. See installation instruction here.
  • If you are not a NCI user, but would like to be, you can sign up from Mancini.
  • If you are not a NCI user and not interested in being a member at this stage. There are still some general information that might be useful, such as how to run a Jupyter notebook, and how to set up an environment, etc.
  • Please send to help@nci.org.au if you have any issues with VDI installation.
