-Under development!
+==== 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.
