You can download and install virtualbox *BEFORE* the tutorial. You can download it from VirtualBox downloads
Use 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 has at least 20 to 30 GB of free disk space and preferably 4 GB of RAM.
During registration, you will receive a 16 GB USB drive with an OVA file called “CIDER2018.ova.” This image contains the software for all CIDER tutorials. Copy it onto the laptop you are going to use for the tutorial.
Alternatively, you can also download the virtual machine frome here: CIDER2018 Virtual Machine. Note that this file is over 5GB in size and will take a long time to download.
We use virtualbox to boot up a Ubuntu 16.04 linux operating system inside the virtual machine.
The virtual machine contains the following users for the individual tutorials:
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.
