# Connecting to a DLAMI instance
Connecting to an instance

After you [launch a DLAMI instance](launch.md) and the instance is running, you can connect to it from a client (Windows, macOS, or Linux) using SSH. For instructions, see [Connect to your Linux instance using SSH](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstances.html) in the *Amazon EC2 User Guide*.

Keep a copy of the SSH login command handy in case you want to set up a Jupyter Notebook server after you log in. To connect to the Jupyter webpage, you use a variation of that command.
