The way to do this is shown below \u2014 you will have to modify this to match your specific scenario (entering your advisor\u2019s name where it says Faculty&nbsp;Name and your own where it says Student&nbsp;Name). Remember those backslashes are critical! Also the \u201c.\u201d at the end is also critical \u2014 it puts the Etna link in your current directory (which should be your home directory).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><a href=\"https:\/\/quest-at-bates.github.io\/metisonboarding.html#cb1-1\"><\/a>ln -s \/usr\/netapp\/etna\/Scholarship\/Faculty\\ Name\/Students\/Student\\ Name .<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you complete this, you should see a new folder appear in the browser to the left \u2014 it will have your name on it, and if you open it, you should see the data you copied earlier inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you can open a Jupyter Notebook using the Launcher and start analyzing your data!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accessing Metis is the easiest part of the process.
