| | 1 | == How do I copy files from my workstation to a node in an experiment? == |
| | 2 | Your 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? == |
| | 5 | The 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? == |
| | 8 | The [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 | |
| | 10 | If 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 | |
| | 12 | While 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 | |
| | 16 | Make 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 | |
| | 18 | This 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 | |
| | 20 | Also make sure you've set the start command to run on every node, including {{{ control }}}. |
