Creating a new user account

1. Register at cp.strongcompute.ai
   1. Register a new RSA key
   2. Create a new API key - you’ll need this later when you create your credentials file on the ISC.
2. Nav to directory where you want to store your public rsa key file and run ‘ssh-keygen’, giving your rsa key file a suitable name like adam+1
3. Be on hotspot and activate the ISC VPN
4. In command line run:
   1. ssh -i adam+1 adaadah2oltigtcrg7vcyrxoub7tckju@192.168.127.70
5. You’re in!
6. Create a credentials.isc file using the “isc login” command, passing in the API key noted down before
