The steps below are used to install Rclone on Research Cloud.
Step 1: Make sure you are in a terminal
In Jupyterhub (Jupyter Workspace or VRE Lab in Research cloud)
- To open a new terminal, click the + button in the file browser and select the terminal in the new Launcher tab (find a short video here).
In Rstudio (Rstudio workspace in Research cloud)
- In the bottom left panel, click the ‘terminal’ tab.
In Python Desktop workspaces and Ubuntu workspaces, simply open the ‘Terminal’ application (found under Applications.)
Python CLI workspaces will open a terminal by default.
