NOTE: SLAC IT does NOT support AFS on desktops. AFS is being retired.
To access AFS on Ubuntu desktops (to migrate data, for example), use the "File" application, "Other Locations", "sftp://centos7.slac.stanford.edu".
The following (below) is NOT supported by SLAC IT. FYI only.
Scientific Computing Services and Unix Platform have transitioned from OpenAFS to YFS for central servers and batch computing. For more information on YFS, please see: https://www.auristor.com/openafs/migrate-to-auristor/

If you want to install and maintain the YFS client yourself on your desktop, here are the steps which have worked for Ubuntu 18.04 "bionic" and 16.04 "xenial". These commands need to be run as root (eg, get a root shell by doing 'sudo -i')
