### SSH Access
For interactive command shell access, use an SSH client. We recommend to activate SSH's X11 forwarding to allow you to use graphical applications (e.g. a text editor. For more performant graphical access, refer to the sections below).
For interactive command shell access, use an SSH client. We recommend to activate SSH's X11 forwarding to allow you to use graphical
applications (e.g. a text editor, but for more performant graphical access, refer to the sections below). X applications are supported
in the login nodes and X11 forwarding can be used for those users who have properly configured X11 support in their desktops, however:
E.g. for Linux:
```bash
ssh -XY $username@merlin-l-01.psi.ch
```
X applications are supported in the login nodes and X11 forwarding can be used for those users who have properly configured X11 support in their desktops:
* Merlin6 administrators **do not offer support** for user desktop configuration (Windows, MacOS, Linux).
* Hence, Merlin6 administrators **do not offer official support** for X11 client setup.
* However, a generic guide for X11 client setup (Windows, Linux and MacOS) will be provided.
* Nevertheless, a generic guide for X11 client setup (*Linux*, *Windows* and *MacOS*) is provided below.
* PSI desktop configuration issues must be addressed through **[PSI Service Now](https://psi.service-now.com/psisp)** as an *Incident Request*.
* Ticket will be redirected to the corresponding Desktop support group (Windows, Linux).
### More efficient graphical access using a **NoMachine** client
#### Accessing from a Linux client
Refer to [{Accessing Merlin -> Accessing from Linux Clients}](/merlin6/connect-from-linux.html) for **Linux** SSH client and X11 configuration.
#### Accessing from a Windows client
Refer to [{Accessing Merlin -> Accessing from Windows Clients}](/merlin6/connect-from-windows.html) for **Windows** SSH client and X11 configuration.
#### Accessing from a MacOS client
Refer to [{Accessing Merlin -> Accessing from MacOS Clients}](/merlin6/connect-from-macos.html) for **MacOS** SSH client and X11 configuration.
### Graphical access using **NoMachine** client
X applications are supported in the login nodes and can run efficiently through a **NoMachine** client. This is the officially supported way to run more demanding X applications on Merlin6. The client software can be downloaded from [the Nomachine Website](https://www.nomachine.com/product&p=NoMachine%20Enterprise%20Client).
