Some method for accessing the ECU computers via unix commandline is required (see below).
Windows 10 offers a linux subsystem that enables you to use linux scripts. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10. RECOMMENDED: I use the Ubuntu subsystem (Step 6), and many bio servers are based off Ubuntu so this is the best option.
If you are not running Windows 10, you can use PuTTY to access the ECU biology server (https://www.putty.org/). Please contact me if you are struggling to set up this option.
You already have access to unix scripting through your OSX terminal. You can search for it using "Terminal" or find it in the Utilities folder in Applications
