+== Instructions for using the GEC14 Tutorial VM for GEMINI ==
+
+=== Loggin in ===
+
+Login information for the VM should be in the email that was sent with the download information.[[BR]]
+Email Jeanne if you cannot find it.
+
+Once you are on the VM, you can access the credentials directly in the directory:
+/home/geniuser/Tutorials/GEMINI.[[BR]] There is a directory for each user.  The ssh
+directory contains the certificates and keys.
+
+Pick a user and use the associated password send in a previous email.[[BR]]
+Place this password in the file /home/geniuser/.ssl/password
+
+
+=== Creating the slice ===
+
+    - If you are using Flack '''(there is currently a bug being fixed here)''', log in as the tutorial user that you chose[[BR]]
+    (don't forget to log into the SA first:  pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com).  There are bookmarks
+     for both in the Firefox toolbar.
+
+    - If you are using omni, cd to the directory for your user (~/Tutorials/GEMINI/<username>)[[BR]]
+    You can run omni commands directly from here and it will use the omni_config in that directory.
+
+    - If you are using protogeni test scripts, you can find them in /opt/protogeni.[[BR]]  Use the -f option to specify the path to the certificate (/home/geniuser/Tutorials/GEMINI/<username>/ssh/<username>.pem)
+
+=== Running instrumentize script ===
+
+  - Make sure you have the most up-to-date scripts by running "git pull" in the directory ~/src/UW.
+
+  - Before running instrumentize.py, you will want to start the ssh-agent and add your key to the agent using the following commands:
+{{{
+          $  ssh-agent -s
+          $  ssh-add /home/geniuser/Tutorials/GEMINI/<username>/ssh/<username>_key
+}}}
+
+This will keep it from continuously prompting you for the password.
+
+  - You can then run instrumentize.py from the directory /home/geniuser/Tutorials/GEMINI/common
+
+{{{
+instrumentize.py -f /home/geniuser/Tutorials/GEMINI/geminiXX/ssh/geminiXX_key -n geminXXslice
+}}}
+
+=== Accessing the portal ===
+
+Before accessing the portal, add your certificate to the browser using these [wiki:GEMINIFirefoxCertInstall instructions]
+
+=== Using iRODS ===
+
+Before using iRODS, you will need to configure /home/geniuser/.irods/.irodsEnv
+replacing ''thisIrodsUser'' with your tutorial username.
+
+You can then run ''iinit'' to store the password so you are not prompted each time.
+
+=== Issues? ===
+
+Notify Jeanne if you run into any issues.
