  1. load the GENI Experimenter Tool (getool) software into your slice.
 In the next section, you will run the getool program to install the !ChoiceNet software into your slice.
+The getool is a program that runs on Linux-based systems.  
+It takes as input the RSPEC for your slice and then automatically ssh's into the nodes in your slice, 
+loading the !ChoiceNet software into each node.  The getool is also used to configure and launch the !ChoiceNet services in your slice.

+Normally, a user would run the getool from their linux-based laptop or desktop machine.  Because some attendees may not have a linux-based laptop, we will
+use one of the nodes in your slice as the linux-based machine to run the getool from.
+The following instructions show you how to login to the global node in your slice (GN0) which is a linux-based node.  You will install the getool on
+the global node and then run it from there.

+Yes, you will need a copy of your private ssh key on your laptop.  If you participated in a GENI tutorial yesterday or today, you most likely 
+already installed your private key on your laptop.  In that case, you can skip the instructions to load your private key.
 
-You will need to run the getool from a Linux-based host.  For the purposes of this tutorial, we would like you to run the getool from the 
-global node labelled "GN0" in your slice.  You will need to login to the GN0 using ssh or putty from your laptop computer.   This means that you must have your 
-private ssh keys installed on your laptop.  If you don't already have a copy of your private ssh key on your laptop, you can download your private ssh key from

-2. For this tutorial you need the !ChoiceNet tool called GET Tool to run and setup your {{{ChoiceNet}}} Framework, the GET Tool needs to ssh into all of routers and endhost machines in your slice and setup the necessary software. In order to facilitate this, we need to use an SSH-Key pair that has been setup for you just for this tutorial. We will also need to download your Slice Manifest rspec. For all this to happen please first download the pre-qprk script and then run using the commands below on the GN0 node.
