-==== Prerequisties for CIG 2016 Tutorial ==== 
-=== Virtualbox === 
-Please download and install virtualbox *BEFORE* the tutorial. ​ You can download it from [[https://​www.virtualbox.org/​wiki/​Downloads|VirtualBox downloads]] 
  
-Use [[https://​www.virtualbox.org/​manual/​ch02.html|these directions]] to install VirtualBox. 
- 
-If your host machine is any linux system, both ''​virtualbox''​ and ''​virtualbox-dkms''​ packages must be installed. Also check to make sure you have exFAT filesystem drivers. Windows and Mac systems should have it by default. On Ubuntu, the packages required are ''​exfat-utils''​ and ''​exfat-fuse''​. 
- 
-We recommended that your computer have at least 20 to 30GB of free disk space and preferably 4GB of RAM. 
- 
-=== Tutorial Image === 
- 
-During registration,​ you will receive a 16 GB USB drive with an OVA file called "​CIG16_Tutorial_VM.ova."​ We will use virtual box to boot up a ubuntu 14.04 linux OS. 
- 
-This image contains the following packages: 
-  * ASPECT 
-  * ObsPy 
-  * Rayleigh 
-  * SPECFEM3D 
-  * SW4 
-  * Underworld 
-  * HC 
- 
-Download it onto the laptop you are going to use for the tutorial. 
- 
-=== Importing the CIG16 tutorial image === 
- 
-  - Run VirtualBox. 
-  - Select from the menu "​Import appliance":​ {{:​software:​aspect:​screenshot_from_2015-06-19_19_55_07.png?​nolink|}} 
-  - Select the downloaded CIG16_tutorialvm.ova:​ {{:​appliances_2_import.png?​nolink|}} 
-  - Select Next and Import: {{:​CIG_16_download.png?​nolink|}} 
-  - Click on start (the green arrow) to launch the image: {{:​CIG16-TutorialVM.png?​nolink|}} 
- 
- 
-=== Using the Image === 
- 
-The image contains the following users: 
-  * aspect_user 
-  * obspy_user 
-  * rayleigh_user 
-  * specfem3d_user 
-  * sw4_user 
-  * underworld_user 
-  * hc_user 
-Note that all of the users listed above are password less. 
- 
-The super user is cig and the password is cig.  
- 
-The image does not allow any connections from the network. sudo apt-get install <package name> to install ubuntu packages. 
- 
-Now simply start the CIG16 virtual machine. 
- 
-=== Troubleshooting === 
-  - If too many users are logged in at once, the next time you switch users, a password prompt is requested. However, since no users have any passwords, one would not be able to switch users at this point. 
-  - At the moment, due to inactivity the system locks. To disable this, go to settings -> brightness and lock -> toggle off the lock and set turn screen if inactive to never. ​ 
- 
-=== Additional Links and Information ​ === 
-   - [[ https://​geodynamics.org/​cig/​static/​CIG16_Tutorial_VM.ova|CIG16 Virtual Machine]]: This VM is over 8GB and will take a long time to download. 
-   - [[ https://​geodynamics.org/​cig/​static/​CIDER16_TutorialVM.ova|CIDER Virtual Machine]]: Contains only HC, Underworld, Burnman software packages, as well as software for seismic inversion and plotting. ​ 
-   - [[ https://​geosys.usc.edu/​projects/​seatree/​wiki|SEATREE]]:​ Software package that provides GUI access to multiple solid earth computational tools.
