What to Bring

The Hydra/Fedora 4 workshop on April 28 will include several hands-on sections using a Hydra/Fedora 4 virtual machine image, so please follow these instructions to get the VM up and running on your laptop *before* the workshop. We are doing this in advance so we do not have to troubleshoot problems at the workshop.

NOTE: The VM uses 2GB of RAM, so you will need a laptop with at least 4GB of RAM to run it. Depending on your laptop manufacturer, you may also need to enable virtualization in the BIOS.

1. Download and install VirtualBox
2. Download and install Vagrant
3. Download and unzip the Curation Concerns VM
4. Using a Command Line Interface, navigate to the VM directory from step 3 and run the command: vagrant up
   1. Note that this step will take a while as the VM downloads and installs a full virtual environment
5. After the VM build finishes, log into the machine using SSH
   1. If you are using OSX, you can simply run the command ‘vagrant ssh’ in the VM directory
   2. If you are using Windows, you will need to install PuTTY [2] and run the command 'ssh -p 2222 vagrant@localhost’ in the PuTTY terminal
6. Once connected to the VM, run the command: cd curation-concerns-demo; rails s -b 0.0.0.0
7. Test the VM by opening your web browser and navigating to: http://localhost:3000
   1. You can create a user account by clicking the plus button in the upper right
8. Turn off the VM by running the command: vagrant halt
   1. If you are still logged in to the VM you can log out by typing ‘exit’ before halting the machine

Detailed VM instructions are also available in the Readme.TBD
