+=== 3.3. Modify the RSpec to automatically install and execute CCNX software ===
+'''Background:''' For this experiment, we need to install the following software on the nodes:
+   * The CCNX software (ccnx-0.6.2.tar.gz)
+   * Scripts that set up the CCNX software (ccnx-setup.tar.gz)
+   * Scripts used to pull atmospheric precipitation data using the CCNX protocol (ccnx-atmos.tar.gz)
+When the nodes start up, we need the following scripts to be executed:
+   * Script that sets up the node (node-setup)
+   * Script that sets up the ccnx protocol (ccnx-setup)
+   * Script that setup up ccnx protocol routes (add-precip-routes)
+In the following steps we automate the installation and running of the software using install and execute scripts in the RSpec.

+and enter <br>
+<pre>/tmp</pre>

+<br>
+<br>
+  <li>In a similar manner, use the "<tt>Add</tt>" button under the <b>Execute Scripts</b> section to add three execute services on this node:

+=== 3.4. Export the modified request RSpec ===
+Now we will pull back some of the covers and inspect exactly what Jacks has been doing for us when preparing the RSpecs for the experiments we design.  Each node and link has a corresponding element in the RSpec, and the details of the component configuration (such as the install and execute services we requested above) are specified with attributes, or sometimes child elements, within those portions of the document.

+contain the specification for the components we will request, and if you
+look closely, you will be able to see the install and execute service
+elements you added earlier.  Click on the "View RSpec" button again to return to the main screen.

+requests to aggregate managers.</li>
+   </ol>
+</td></tr>
+</table>
+}}}
+=== 3.5. Instantiate the new experiment using Omni ===
+For this step, we'll change the approach a bit and switch to a new client tool, the command line Omni client.
+From a terminal, please enter the command:
+{{{
+$ omni -a AM_NICKNAME createsliver SLICENAME RSPEC_FILE
+}}}
+where {{{AM_NICKNAME}}} is the nickname for your assigned aggregate manager and {{{SLICENAME}}} is the name of the slice you created earlier (both of these are given on your worksheet).  {{{RSPEC_FILE}}} should be replaced with the filename of the RSpec you saved in step 3.4.
+If all is well, Omni should give you a number of informational messages, such as:
+{{{
+INFO:omni:Loading config file /home/geni/.gcf/omni_config
+}}}
+It should quickly proceed to the point where it makes the request to the remote manager:
+{{{
+INFO:omni:Creating sliver(s) from rspec file /home/geni/Downloads/experiments.rspec for slice ...
+}}}
+This step can sometimes be time-consuming, so please be patient.  If it succeeds, within a couple of minutes Omni should report:
+{{{
+INFO:omni: Completed createsliver:
+}}}
+and your resource reservation is complete!
