Setting up your Computer with GENI Tools
Some of the tutorials at the GEC will require you have a laptop that has:
- The Omni experimenter tool installed (Instructions)
- An ssh client (Instructions), and
- A browser capable of running Flash clients (Instructions).
1. Download and Install Omni 2.5
Mac OS X: Follow the instructions at http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/MacOS.

2. SSH Client
Mac OS X/Linux
Mac OS X and Linux come with an ssh client you can run from a Terminal window. You do not need to install anything.
Windows
If you do not have an ssh client installed:
- Install BitVise, an ssh client for Windows.
Note: If you are using the Putty ssh client, you will need puttygen to convert the private keys used by GENI to Putty's format.
Test SSH with keys
In the email you should have received a copy of an SSH private key. The passphrase associated with this key is verify

To test your setup you will need these information:

Mac OS X/Linux/Cygwin : Follow these instructions. If you see a prompt [sshtest@my-node ~]$
you are all set!
