| 93 | | <li>From the slice page, select <b>Add Resources</b>.</li> |
| 94 | | <li>Since this is the first time you are trying to reserve resources, you should see a warning on the top about not having an SSH key in your account. Access to compute resources in GENI is provide through ssh key pairs and thus the portal needs a public key to upload to compute resources. For the purposes of the tutorial we will have the portal create an SSH key pair for you. (However, if you prefer to use your personal public key you can choose to upload it.) Click on the <b>Generate and Download SSH Keypair</b> button.</li> |
| 95 | | |
| 96 | | <li>Press the <b>Download Private Key</b> button</li> |
| 97 | | <li> Open a terminal and execute <code>chmod 600 ~/Downloads/id_geni_ssh_rsa</code> and then <code>ssh-add ~/Downloads/id_geni_ssh_rsa</code>. Later in the tutorial, this will allow you to log into your nodes securely without a password. </li> |
