## Login nodes description ## Login nodes description
The Merlin6 login nodes are the official machines for accessing the Merlin6 cluster. The Merlin6 login nodes are the official machines for accessing the recources of Merlin6.
From these machines, users can submit jobs to the Slurm batch system as well as visualize or compile their software. From these machines, users can submit jobs to the Slurm batch system as well as visualize or compile their software.

### SSH Access ### SSH Access
For interactive command access, use a SSH client. We recommend to use X11 forwarding, despite is not the official way supported. It may help opening X applications. 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 Linux: E.g. for Linux:

### NoMachine Access ### More efficient graphical access using a **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).
