    - after being logged into our servers, we need to run this to activate the appropriate environment:
        - `conda activate r_dada2`
        - if error:
            - `conda init bash`
            - `source ~/.bashrc`

    - then we want to run this to establish a connection between the server RStudio and our browsers:
        - `rstudio-server-wrapper.sh`
    - This will should print a link to our terminal that we can go to in our browser to access our RStudio environment :+1:
