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