Installing the secure shell extension[edit]
To access Merlin, you'll need a secure shell client.
If you're using a Windows-based device: -Install Google Chrome -Open up Chrome and search "Secure Shell Extension" -Install the Extension
If you're using a Mac or Linux based device, it probably already has a built-in client which can be accessed from the terminal.
You will need a connection string to access the server.
Obtaining an account[edit]
Fill out this form and wait for your credentials to be provided (via email).
Once your account is obtained, open up the "Connection Dialogue", and input the connection string. It will prompt you for your password, input it and continue to the "shell" (click link for further reference).
[edit]
In order to see what our working directory is inside the shell, we are going to use pwd which stands for "print the working directory". You can use the command by typing it in and hitting <RETURN>.
first-last@codermerlin:~$ pwd
After using the command you should see something like the below console line. As long as you haven't moved in the directory you should start off in the home directory.
/home/first-last
Next, let's try the ls command which will list the directories and files in the working directory.
first-last@codermerlin:~$ ls
However no files or directories have been created yet, so there won't be anything to display.
We can make a directory by using the command mkdir
first-last@codermerlin:~$ mkdir firstDirectory
first-last@codermerlin:~$ cd firstDirectory
first-last@codermerlin:~$ pwd
/home/first-last/firstDirectory
first-last@codermerlin:~$ cd ../
first-last@codermerlin:~$ ls
firstDirectory
