GlueX Tutorial 2011 Virtual Machine Download

---

Below are the files for the virtual machine created for the GlueX Software Tutorial in 2011. This was made using VirtualBox so you will need to get the appropriate VirtualBox Installer.

There is a single user account "guest". Both the guest account and root account have the password "123456".

IMPORTANT!: There are two options for installing the virtual machine: Option 1 is less involved, but takes up more disk space than option 2.

• Option 1: Start up VirtualBox and select Import Appliance ... from the File menu. Navigate to the Xubuntu10.10.ovf file on your hard disk and import it.
  
  Note that this will make a copy of the hard disk image file to another part of your actual hard disk and (on OS X at least) do some kind of conversion that increases the copy 3-fold to nearly 4GB! This should work on all systems, but requires about 3GB-4GB more space than the second option.
  
  
• Option 2: From within VirtualBox, open the VirtualMedia manager from the File menu. Click the "Add" button and navigate to the location of the Xubuntu10.10.vmdk file. This will add the image to the list of available images, avoiding the copy (and the bloating).
  
  Note that this will use the hard disk image from wherever it is currenlty located so make sure you don't move it once you've told the Virtual Media Manager where it is.
  
  From within VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine that is a "Linux" "Ubuntu" machine (not a 64 bit machine). When it gets to the dialog where you set up the virtual hard disk, select "Use existing hard disk" and then select the Xubuntu10.10.vmdk disk from the menu.
  

File	Size
Xubuntu10.10.ovf	16kB
Xubuntu10.10.vmdk	1.3GB

The OS installed in the virtual machine is Xubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). It has all of the Hall-D offline software installed as well as all of the dependencies. These include:

• ROOT 5.27
• CERNLIB 2006
• Xerces-C 2.8
• CLHEP 1.9.4.6
• cMsg rev9063
• EVIO rev8689
• JANA 0.6.2
• RootSpy 0.0.1
• AmpTools (May, 2010)
• hdds-1.1
• sim-recon rev7165 (Dec. 16, 2010)

Once you've got the virtual machine up and running, you can go into the Tutorial2011 directory (int /home/guest/Tutorial2011) and read the README file there to get started on the tutorial sections.
