Description
What would you like to see added?
On page: https://docs.rc.uab.edu/cheaha/open_ondemand/hpc_desktop/
Add section on starting any arbitrary GUI software.
- Make sure the software is available (link to non-existent "How can I find X software on Cheaha?" page)
- Check if the software is already an interactive app (describe how they can check this)
- The rest of the tutorial steps go here...
- At the very end, suggest they could (optionally) make a sandbox app for the software. If they do, they can collaborate with us to get it set up as an app.
