Run analyses and applications

Create an Application

Outcome You add a new application (JupyterLab, RStudio, MATLAB, VS Code, or similar) to an instance in your project.

Before you start

• You are an Instance Editor or Space Administrator of the target instance.

• You are in the Current state of the instance.

• You know which application type you need.

Add the Application

1

Navigate to the space and the instance.

2

Make sure you are in the Current state.

3

On the sidebar, click the screen icon (Applications) to open the Applications list.

4

Click + ADD NEW APPLICATION in the top left.

5

In the Application Marketplace, find the Application you want.

6

Click + INSTALL.

For all available Applications, their resource sizes, and the full configuration options, see Reference › Applications.

Start an Application

Outcome You launch an application and open it ready for use.

Before you start

• The application has been added to an instance you have access to.

• You are signed in to Nuvolos.

The procedure for starting an application is the same regardless of the role. See the canonical procedure: How-to › Common Workflows › Starting an Application.

Application startup typically takes 30–60 seconds. The first start of a newly created Application may take longer if dependencies are still being initialised.

Stop an Application

Outcome You stop a running application to free up resources and stop accumulating NCU or Credit consumption.

Before you start

• You have a running application you want to stop.

Stopping applications when you are done is good research-budget hygiene: you stop consuming resources you do not need. The procedure for stopping an application is the same regardless of the role. See the canonical procedure: How-to › Common Workflows › Stopping an Application.

Nuvolos auto-stops idle applications after 6 hours (Included sizes) or 1 hour (Credit-based sizes) in research spaces. Stopping explicitly frees resources sooner. The inactivity limit can be configured per application - see Reference › Applications.
