Nova is a Unix based web server which is used through various computer studies courses at UMUC. If you are taking one of my web design classes or are enrolled in another UMUC class that uses Nova, the information provided here should be helpful. Nova is the server you will be using to setup your web directories for publishing content online. In order to set up a Nova account you will need you MyUMUC login and password. Once created you will be assigned a unique Nova login account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To set up Nova you will need to use an SSH (Secure SHell) client. If you are a Windows user you will need to download an SSH client. I highly recommend PuTTY, which is is a free program that you can download from https:\/\/www.chiark.greenend.org.uk\/~sgtatham\/putty\/latest.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mac Users: you do not need to download PuTTY as SSH is built in. You can connect by using the Mac Terminal (Under Utilities) and entering the command ‘ssh username@nova.umuc.edu’. For your account setup you will enter ‘ssh newclass@nova.umuc.edu’ to run the newclass<\/strong> command (outlined in the video). Let me know if you run into any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
