Setting up your laptop with GENI Tools
Some of the tutorials at this camp will require you have a laptop that has:
- The Omni experimenter tool installed,
- A browser capable of running Flash clients, and
- An ssh client.
1. Install Omni
Mac OS x
- Download the package: omniTools.dmg.
- Install the package using these instructions.
Windows
- Download this file: omni-tools-2.4.2-setup.exe.
- Install the package using these instructions.
Linux
- Download the GCF package from http://software.geni.net/local-sw/download&software=gcf-2.4.1.tar.gz
- Install the GCF package using instructions at http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/QuickStart. The Omni tool is part of the GCF package.
Test the installation
- Open a new terminal window (or command prompt in windows (
Start menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
)) and typeomni.py --version
If omni prints out its version number, you are all set!
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
3. Flash-enabled Browser
- You will need Google Chrome or Firefox.
- Make sure you are able to load http://protogeni.net/flack. The page should look like:
Note: If you do not have flash installed and you are using Firefox, install the Flash plugin for Firefox.
