Since many students are '''not''' permitted to access Seneca's computer labs at this time due to '''COVID19''', you can install and run the '''AppsAnywhere''' application (which works in an identical way to MyApps) on a remote Windows computer. This application is an application streaming service that lets you install software on any Seneca PC on demand. Any software application on the AppsAnywhere menu can be used on computers in classrooms, labs, and the Computing Commons.

In this case, you can open a '''terminal''' and issue the '''ssh''' command to connect to your Matrix account. --> ===CONNECTING TO YOUR MATRIX ACCOUNT FROM A COMMAND LINE TERMINALYOUR HOME COMPUTER===
