     1== How do I copy files from my workstation to a node in an experiment? ==
     2Your home directory from {{{ users }}} is available on the nodes in your experiment. Any files you copy to {{{ users.isi.deterlab.net }}} using scp or sftp will therefore be available.
     3
     4== How can I copy files from a node in the testbed to my workstation? ==
     5The reverse of the previous question: copy the files you want to your home directory, then download them from {{{ users.isi.deterlab.net }}} using scp or sftp.
     6
     7== How can I install software on my nodes? ==
     8The [https://www.isi.deterlab.net/showimageid.php3?imageid=725 CentOS5] and [https://www.isi.deterlab.net/showimageid.php3?imageid=618 Ubuntu804-STD] images have access to full package repositories. You can therefore use {{{ yum }}} or {{{ apt-get }}} (respectively) to install software that's been pre-packaged for each distro.
     9
     10If there is no package for the software you wish to install, you can install from source. Copy the source tarball to the testbed (see [#HowdoIcopyfilesfrommyworkstationtoanodeinanexperiment How do I copy files from my workstation to a node in an experiment?] or use {{{ wget }}} or {{{ curl }}} on {{{ users }}}), then follow the package's installation instructions.
     11
     12While we will do everything we can to assist any issues you face, we do not have the resources to help individual users install software.

     14== When I try to attach to an experiment with SEER, I get the error: Error downloading /proj/ProjectName/exp/ExperimentName/tbdata/node.pem: 2: no such file. ==
     15
     16Make sure you've followed the instructions [http://seer.isi.deterlab.net/v1.6/user/howto.html How to set up an experiment with SEER].
     17
     18This error is most frequently seen because you have not included a node named {{{ control }}} which is not connected to anything else in the topology.
     19
     20Also make sure you've set the start command to run on every node, including {{{ control }}}.
