Step 3: Now, request a session on a compute node:

<your_user_name>@raapoi-login:~$ srun -wamd01n01 -c1 --mem=1G -t0-00:59:59 --pty bash

In the above command, srun is the slurm utility used to request an interactive session on a compute node. -w directive has amd01n01 as the name of the compute node, -c directive has 1 as requested number of cores/cpus, --mem directive has 1G as the requested memory, -t has requested 1 hour time on the cluster, --pty is used to request a psuedo terminal and bash lets you select the shell of your choice.
