Running Tutorials on Your Computer
We have created a debian repository to make it easier to use our tutorials. Using this repository will require that you have administrator access to the computer on which you'll be using them. If you don't have this level of access, we also provide a pre-configured virtual machine image that will allow you to install software as root.
The VM Image is available here. The password for the student account is "LetMeIn". Feel free to change it to whatever you like.
If you would like to use our repository on a VM or on your computer, follow these configuration steps. Please run as the root user or using the sudo command.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://statgen.research.bcm.edu/deb ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/statgen.list sudo apt-get update
