| 6 | Please note that all of the required software and files should be downloaded and installed *BEFORE* the tutorial. | |||
| 7 | ||||
| 8 | If you have any questions about the tutorial or problems arise with the software installation please contact help@geodynamics.org. | |||

| 10 | === Tutorial Prerequisties === | |||
| 11 | ==== Virtualbox ==== | |||
| 12 | - | You can download !VirtualBox |
+ | You can download !VirtualBox and please use [https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02.html directions] to install !VirtualBox.
|
| 13 | ||||
| 14 | If your host machine is any linux system, both {{{virtualbox}}} and {{{virtualbox-dkms}}} packages must be installed. Also check to make sure you have exFAT filesystem drivers. Windows and Mac systems should have it by default. On Ubuntu, the packages required are {{{exfat-utils}}} and {{{exfat-fuse}}}. | |||
| 15 | ||||
| 16 | We recommended that your computer have at least 20 to 30GB of free disk space and preferably 4GB of RAM. | |||
| 17 | ||||
| 18 | ==== Tutorial Image ==== | |||
| 19 | We will use virtual box to boot up a ubuntu 14.04 linux OS image titled ASPECT-tutorial-2.0.ova. | |||
| 20 | ||||
| 21 | This image contains the following software packages pre-installed: | |||
| 22 | ||||
| 23 | * ASPECT | |||
| 24 | * dealII | |||
| 25 | * Paraview | |||
| 26 | - | Please download |
+ | Please download ASPECT-tutorial-2.0.ova onto laptop you are going to use for the tutorial. The image is ~2.6 Gb, so please allow plenty of time for the download and use a high-speed internet connection if possible.
