Linux
Command line only
Other than having ssh installed on your machine, this method has no further prerequisites for its use.
ssh username@peregrine.hpc.rug.nl
GUI desktop
ssh -X username@peregrine.hpc.rug.nl
The “-X” option will enable X11 Forwarding, which is necessary to be able to display graphical output from programs running on the cluster. Note that this option may be the default setting on your system. An X server should be running on your local desktop to allow graphical output. On Linux, an X server is running by default so no further software is required for this.
