<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">This training will introduce Open OnDemand, a browser-based tool now available to all LSU HPC users on campus. Open OnDemand requires only a web browser (no plug-ins) and
an LSU HPC account. It features a file browser, command line shell access, job management, and access to interactive Jupyter notebooks and RStudio servers running interactively on SuperMIC's compute nodes. This training will feature an overview of Open OnDemand,
and a demonstration of all it's features, including Jupyter Notebook and RStudio.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Python comes with extensive libraries and many of them come in the form of packages that can be installed separately. Given the astounding number of Python packages, it
is not sustainable to install all of them system widely under a shared HPC cluster environment. This training tutorial will introduce two popular Python package and environment management tools: The Python Package Index (PyPI) and Conda. Details and examples
will be given on how to install different Python packages in user's local directories, and how to create and manage virtual environments for different projects on LSU and LONI HPC clusters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
