Setting up your Computer with GENI Tools
Some of the tutorials will require you have a laptop that has:
- An ssh client (Instructions)
- Chrome and Firefox browsers (Instructions)
1. 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. Proceed to the Test SSH with Keys section below.
Windows
Recommended Install Putty, a free SSH client for Windows:
An alternative is FireSSH, a Firefox ssh plugin:
- Install the plugin from FireSSH
Test SSH with keys
You should have received a copy of an SSH private key by email. (PuTTY users should use the key file with PuTTY
in it's name.)
To test your setup you will need this information:
username
: sshtesthostname
: pc2.geni.uchicago.eduport
: 25106- passphrase for private key: v3rify
In the instructions below, skip the step about downloading a private key and just use the key provided though email.
Mac OS X/Linux/Cygwin : Follow these instructions. If you see the prompt sshtest@sshtestvm:~$
you are all set!
Windows : Follow these instructions. If you see the prompt sshtest@sshtestvm:~$
you are all set!
3. Install Chrome and Firefox browsers
