The preparation steps only need to be executed once. You need to carry out those steps to set up the basic configuration for your ETH account with regards to the code-server.
* Login to the Euler
* Start and interactive job with
```
bsub -Is -W 0:10 -n 1 -R "rusage[mem=2048]" bash
```
When using Euler, switch to the new software stack (in case you haven't set it as default yet), either using
```
env2lmod
```
for the current shell, or
```
set_software_stack.sh new
```
to set it as permanent default (when using this command, you need to logout and login again to make the change becoming active)
Load the modules for one of the code-server installations:
```
module load gcc/6.3.0 code-server/3.12.0
```
Start the code-server once with the command code-server
```
[sfux@eu-ms-001-01 ~]$ code-server

```
This will setup the local configuration (including a password for you) and store it in your home directory in $HOME/.config/code-server/config.yaml
After the server started, terminate it with ctrl+c
## Using the script
