====== Tecplot on Farber ======

===== Interactive job =====

All interactive jobs should be run on a compute node by setting your workgroup and using qlogin. You need to be running [[general:training#connecting|X-Windows]] and you should make sure you are in the directory where you want to run Tecplot. Once on the compute node, you will automatically be in the same working directory.  For example, for ''traine'' on Farber, this process might look like this:


<code bash>
[traine@farber ~]$ workgroup -g it_css
[(it_css:traine)@farber it_css]$ vpkg_require tecplot
Adding package `tecplot/2013-r1` to your environment
[(it_css:traine)@farber it_css]$ tecplot
