Follow the instructions below to get access to a temporary virtual machine that you can use for the hands-on exercises during this tutorial.
!!! note "Only available during EESSI tutorial at ISC 2026"
This environment is only available during the EESSI tutorial at [ISC 2026](https://isc-hpc.com),
on Monday 22 June 2026.
Alternatively, you can use a system where EESSI is already available, see [here](https://eessi.io/docs/systems).
!!! warning "Avoid losing any data!"
Please make sure you copy any important files before the end of the day,
since the environment will be destroyed shortly after, and any files in the account
you were using will be lost forever.
!!! tip "Do not hesitate to ask for help!"
During the ISC 2026 tutorial, raise your hand to ask a question or get help.
Afterwards, join the EESSI Slack via the "Slack channel" link on the EESSI website
[https://eessi.io](https://eessi.io), and ask your question there.

- Make sure to change default "Time" to 4 hours
- Take 4 cores, and increase the request memory to about 4000MB (should be plenty but more is available)
- Switch the "User interface" to "Terminal" ("JupyterLab" also works if you are comfortable navigating that)
Alternatively, use the login node for hands-on, 16 cores so should be fine to share for a small group.
