= AS OF SEPTEMBER 2022, THE ABRP-GENOMICS VM IS SHUT DOWN, AND THE BELOW INFORMATION IS NO LONGER USEFUL =

== Accessing the ABRP Genomics Test Website ==

=== Make a SSH connection ===

To get to the ABRP Genomics test website you will need ssh access to abrp-genomics.biology.duke.edu.

Note that unless you are on the Duke campus you will need to activate the Duke VPN before using
ssh.

==== Unix or OS/X ====

From Unix or OS/X, in a terminal window type:

{{{
ssh -L 8008:localhost:8008 MYLOGIN@abrp-genomics.biology.duke.edu
}}}

==== Microsoft Windows ====

From Microsoft Windows you will need to configure your ssh program
to forward connections made to port 8008, on the local machine, to
port 8008 on the localhost (127.0.0.1) on the remote machine.  
How this is done varies, depending on the program in use.

If you wish to use the Microsoft Windows command line with the Putty
ssh client, the command to use is:

{{{
plink -L 8008:localhost:8008 MYLOGIN@abrp-genomics.biology.duke.edu
}}}

=== Access the Test Website in your Browser ===

Leave the ssh connection running (doing nothing).

Put the following URL into your browser:

{{{
http://localhost:8008/
}}}

=== Cleanup ===

When finished, close your ssh connection by typing {{{exit}}} at the Unix prompt.
