+===== 1. Prerequisites =====
 Psychp01 is a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster as a vitualized system that runs [[https://www.debian.org/|Debian 11]], a Linux operating system. You will need to become familiar with the Linux command line interface to use them effectively. While it can be time consuming to learn a bit of Linux it can be considered an investment in scientific skills.
 This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PGnYjbYuUo|Youtube video]] starts from the very basics of the Linux command line. And Fig.1 shows a nice cheat sheet for Linux.\\
 Also, please find [[https://ulhpc-tutorials.readthedocs.io/en/latest/|here]] some useful tutorials on HPC clusters. Moreover, the department of Psychology has a [[https://github.com/RHULPsychology|github page]] with tutorials and resources to help you get started, guide you through some practicalities, and provide you with useful code snippets.\\

 It is strongly advised that new HPC users explore the many tutorials and documentation resources available on the web, for example: [[https://ulhpc-tutorials.readthedocs.io/en/latest/|HPC Cluster Tutorials]] or our [[https://github.com/RHULPsychology|RHULPsychology github page]]; Please see Prerequisites above.\\
-Before starting, you need to have a short introduction to the usage of the cluster and current guidelines in place at the department. For that, please contact Gabriele Bellucci at gabriele.bellucci@rhul.ac.uk.\\
