Installing the x2go client software

We will be using the CSC cPouta cloud server in Taito supercluster for the project data reduction tasks. The supercluster is located in Kajaani, northern Finland (https://research.csc.fi/computing-infrastructures). Obviously, we will be using the cloud instances remotely using free and open source x2go software. Please install x2go client before you arrive to save time.

Full instructions (in case of problems) are here:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goclient

Ubuntu

Easy:

 apt-get install x2goclient

Windows

Download from
http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.0.5.0-2015.07.31/
and run x2goclient-4.0.5.0-2015.07.31-setup.exe.

Mac OS

Bit more difficult as always with a Mac ;-):

First install XQuartz from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/

Type

 echo "*VT100.translations: #override Meta <KeyPress> V: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n" > ~/.Xdefaults 

to the terminal (enables copy&paste).

Then install x2go client from:
http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-macosx/x2goclient/releases/4.0.5.0/
Select the one that matches your OS version.
