==== Prerequisties for CIDER 2018 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 "CIDER2018.ova." We will use virtual box to boot up a ubuntu 16.04 linux OS. This image contains the software for all CIDER tutorials. Copy it onto the laptop you are going to use for the tutorial.

=== Importing the CIDER2018 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 CIDER2018.ova: {{:cider_2018_import_appliance.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:
  * geodynamics
  * mineralphysics
  * seismology

Note that all of the users listed above are password less.

The super user is ''cideradmin'' and the password is ''cideradmin''. 

If you want to install additional packages, do it as ''cideradmin'':

''su cideradmin''

''sudo apt-get install <package name> to install ubuntu packages.''

Now simply start the CIDER2018 virtual machine.

=== Troubleshooting ===
