Prerequisites
The following prerequisites should be met before starting this tutorial:
- Ensure your organisation's domain administrator has created an account for you.
- This tutorial will involve the creation of a new Project.
Introduction to the Tygron Platform
The Tygron Platform is a server-client application specializing in rapid, parallel calculations and processing of data. Organizations have license which allows access to the software, and a domain which holds all the organization's User accounts and Projects. Each user within an organization that wishes to make use of the software must have an individual User account.
This tutorial assumes a user account has been created with at least EDITOR rights.
Getting started as a new user
Download the Tygron Platform client application. It can be found here:
After the download completes, install it the application, and finally start the application.
If the Tygron Platform has not been run recently on this computer, a prompt may appear for the end-user license agreement. If you agree with the terms, accept it. Note that accepting the EULA is required to continue this tutorial and to use the Tygron Platform in general.
At the login screen, click on "forgot password". Enter the email associated with your account, and click on "Reset".
This will prompt an email to be sent to your email account with a new password, which will allow you to log in.
After resetting, the login screen will have reappeared. As username, enter your email. As password, enter the password sent to you in the mail. Then click on "sign in".
If the Tygron Platform has been freshly (re)installed, the application may take a moment to optimize its internal settings, so that it can maximize performance as necessary. This will force the application to close. When this happens, restart the application, and log in again.
