Our Ubuntu server behaves like a 'normal' remote server, and can be approached through a [VS code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) web interface. All participants will be granted access to a personal workspace to be used during the course. The web interface will be approached through http (not https!), so make sure you can access http sites. You can validate it here: [http://httpforever.com/](http://httpforever.com/).
 
 The only software you need to install before the course is [Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV)](http://software.broadinstitute.org/software/igv/).
