1. Go to Applications -> Utilities and open Terminal

2. Type ssh -Y <yourusername>@viperlogin.hpc.hull.ac.uk

3. The first time you connect to Viper, a message asks if you want to continue connecting. This message appears because Viper has an RSA key that is not stored in your system registry/keychain, the identity of which cannot be verified. Type 'yes' and press enter.
