To open the O2 terminal click on Clusters and >_O2 Production Cluster Shell Access

and you can open additional terminal in new tabs by clicking again on the same link.
you can’t open graphical interface (GUI) software from this terminal. If you need to run a GUI based software in OOD that is not already available under the APPs, please reach out to rchelp@hms.harvard.edu and we can help you selecting the best approach.
