- | ==== Overview ==== | ||
- | |||
- | This site provides download and installations instructions for the - [[ https://geodynamics.org/cig/events/calendar/2018-cgu-cig/aspect-tutorial/|CGU 2018 Introduction to Modeling Lithospheric Dynamics Tutorial]]. | ||
- | |||
- | The tutorial utilizes the mantle convection and lithospheric deformation code [[https://geodynamics.org/cig/software/aspect/|ASPECT]], which has been precompiled on a virtual machine along with other software. The virtual machine will be run with VirtualBox. | ||
- | |||
- | Please note that all of the required software and files should be downloaded and installed ***BEFORE*** the tutorial. | ||
- | |||
- | If you have any questions or problems arise with the software installation, please contact John Naliboff (jbnaliboff@ucdavis.edu). | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Tutorial Prerequisties ==== | ||
- | === Virtualbox === | ||
- | |||
- | You can download VirtualBox [[https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads|here]] and please 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 === | ||
- | |||
- | We will use virtual box to boot up a ubuntu 14.04 linux OS image titled ASPECT-tutorial-2.0.ova. | ||
- | |||
- | This image contains the following software packages pre-installed: | ||
- | * ASPECT | ||
- | * dealII | ||
- | * Paraview | ||
- | |||
- | Please [[https://geodynamics.org/cig/static/ASPECT-tutorial-2.0.ova|download ASPECT-tutorial-2.0.ova]] onto laptop you are going to use for the tutorial. The image is ~2.6 Gb, so please allow plenty of time for the download and use a high-speed internet connection if possible. | ||
- | |||
- | === Importing the CGU18 tutorial image === | ||
- | |||
- | - Run VirtualBox. | ||
- | - Select from the menu "Import appliance": {{:cgu18_select_import_appliance.png?200|}} | ||
- | - Select the downloaded ASPECT-tutorial-2.0.ova: {{:appliances_2_import.png?nolink|}} | ||
- | - Select Continue and Import: {{:CIG_16_download.png?nolink|}} | ||
- | - Click on start (the green arrow) to launch the image: {{:CIG16-TutorialVM.png?nolink|}} | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | - Run VirtualBox. | ||
- | - Select from the menu "Import appliance": {{:software:aspect:screenshot_from_2015-06-19_19_55_07.png?nolink|}} | ||
- | - Select the downloaded ASPECT-tutorial-2.0.ova: {{:appliances_2_import.png?nolink|}} | ||
- | - Select Continue and Import: {{:CIG_16_download.png?nolink|}} | ||
