Enable Interactive Desktop

This installation guide will walk you through setting up an Interactive Desktop app that your users will be able to use to launch a Gnome 2, Mate, or Xfce desktop on a compute node within your HPC cluster. The user should then be able to connect to a running session through their browser using the noVNC client.

Danger

Confirm that you have walked through the Setup Interactive Apps instructions for Interactive Apps (Plugins) before continuing on.
