# SPSS in the Browser

This source provides a procedural guide for accessing SPSS statistical software via a web browser through the university's Apphub infrastructure.

## Key Information
The primary advantage of this method is that it allows users to run SPSS independently of their local operating system, as the software is executed on a remote virtual desktop.

## Operational Steps
To launch SPSS in the browser:
1. Navigate to `https://apphub.wolke.uni-greifswald.de/computing`.
2. Authenticate using the university user ID (UID).
3. In the "Computing" tab, select **Statistics** as the software and **Desktop** as the frontend, then click "Start".
4. Click the "Open" button once it appears to be redirected to the virtual desktop.
5. Launch the specific SPSS application by double-clicking its icon on the virtual desktop.
