* Install an SSH client. If you're on Linux or Mac, you have one installed already and do not need to do anything. If you're on Windows, Stanford recommends [http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net Mobaxterm].
* SSH into corn: <tt>ssh [your sunet id]@corn.stanford.edu</tt>. Possibly add <tt>-AX</tt> later to get GUI, like this: <tt>ssh -AX [your sunet id]@corn.stanford.edu</tt>
* SSH into corn: <tt>ssh -AX [your sunet id]@corn.stanford.edu</tt>. For example, <tt>ssh -AX amaldona@corn.stanford.edu</tt>. You will likely need to use two-factor authentication.
* Clone jmdt: <tt>https://github.com/stanford-ssi/jmdt.git</tt>

* <tt>cd jmdt</tt>

To edit files, you can either use God's own editor, <tt>vi</tt>, or use <tt>gedit</tt>, a good graphical editor. After editing C++, you'll have to recompile: you can do that with <tt>make</tt>. If you edit a Python file, re-running it will do the job.
JMDT is hosted through GitHub, and in order for you to collaborate on it, you will need to upload your changes and download others' changes regularly. See [[Git and GitHub]] for details on how to do so.
