- 
-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 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.

-This image contains the following software packages pre-installed:​
