To gain access to the cluster, follow the steps below to generate an SSH key and send it to the administrators.

Open your terminal.

Run the following command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
#Press Enter to accept the default file location (~/.ssh/id_rsa).
#(Optional) Set a passphrase for added security.

This will generate:

~/.ssh/id_rsa (your private key)

~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (your public key)

Option 1: Git Bash (Recommended) Install Git for Windows if you don’t have it.

Open Git Bash and run:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
#Accept the default location (/c/Users/YourName/.ssh/id_rsa) and set a passphrase if desired.
#(Optional) Set a passphrase for added security.

Option 2: PowerShell (with OpenSSH) Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator).

Run:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"
# Press Enter to use the default save path (C:\Users\YourName\.ssh\id_rsa).

</code>

Find your public key:

Linux/macOS: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Windows: C:\Users\YourName\.ssh\id_rsa.pub (or in Git Bash: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)

Send it via email to:

``` 📧 admin@example.com ```

The administrators will create your cluster account and add your SSH key. You’ll receive login details once setup is complete.
