Laptop Requirements
ATTENDEES MUST PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING:

- Verify that you have XQuartz installed and then start the application to make sure it works. It should be in the Utilities folder.
- If you can't find XQuartz, you can download and install it yourself. The software and online support are available at https://www.xquartz.org/. A youtube video can also be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS4zTqfwSSQ.
LINUX INSTRUCTIONS:
- Linux comes with SSH and X11 installed. Nothing needs to be done.
WINDOWS INSTRUCTIONS - FOR PERSONALLY OWNED MACHINES:

- Install both PuTTY for SSH and Xming for X11 software. These are free, and both will need to be installed for full functionality. For PuTTY: http://www.putty.org/ For Xming: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
- Alternately, you can obtain a 30-day trial version of X-Win32 from: https://www.starnet.com/xwin32/
Software Requirements
To install ObsPy and Instaseis please go to the workshop github site here for instructions. Please note the following:
- requires Python 3.5 or 3.6
- a new release of ObsPy will be available prior to the workshop. Updating is easy using Anaconda's update command [instructions]
PLEASE DO NOT close the repository at this time. The notebooks are still under improvement.
SPECFEM and SW4 will be preinstalled on HPC computing at LVOC (Quartz). There is no need to download these software packages.
