DRAFT
We should have a KnowledgeBase article on this, but don't seem to have ever written one, primarily because the core thing you need is already installed on your Mac (Terminal) - unlike Windows.
To display graphical output from remote Linux software, you'll need Xquartz or FastX (see below), but this isn't so important with discovery since it is a batch-scheduled environment.
You'll also probably want to mount your DartFS space on your Mac so that you can directly see the same files that Discovery sees.
Terminal can save a custom set of preferences, size, colours, font, and command to run, in a one-click .terminal file.
Attached to this ticket is an example 'discovery-NETID.terminal ' which will open terminal and connect to discovery with your NetID. To use it, download and edit with a text editor, search for MY-NETID and replace it with your NetID.
