If on Windows, go to Microsoft Store and install Windows Terminal by Microsoft.
Open it. Use Windows Terminal instead of Command Prompt for nicer features.
On Mac, open a Terminal (runs linux).
In terminal, type "ssh $USER@csci.viu.ca" where $USER is your actual login id.
This connects you to otter. Use otter as a jumping point to tuxworld -- our
new virtual lab cluster -- using the command
"ssh tuxworld"
