Once you’ve set up your SWAN session, you can run code interactively in a kernel using a console, or run a terminal.
Start a console session
If you prefer to code directly in a programming language, you can start a console session instead of a Jupyter Notebook.
- Click + in the side navigation bar to bring up the launcher window.
- Click a computer language under the Console heading.
SWAN will start a console session.
Shut down a console session
- Click File in the main menu.
- Click Shutdown Console.
Note: closing the console tab does not shut down the session.
Start a terminal session
To start a Terminal session using Bash commands:
- Click + in the side navigation bar to bring up the launcher window.
- Click Terminal under the Other heading.
SWAN will launch a new Terminal window.
End a session
- Once you are finished with your session, click File and Shutdown Current Session.
This will then end the session, closing all open tabs, Notebooks and consoles to release hardware resources for other users.
