- 2016/11/24: Added a first version of the Virtual Machine with all the software
- 2016/11/11: Installation instructions added
A Google drive was created with material for the tutorial:
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0B5FLVTgErnMSTm9JTk9FTFNCV2s
This drive contains a Virtual Machine (.ova file) that can be used to run the demoed software.
Please follow the instructions here to install VirtualBox so that you can run the VM on your machine.
The login information for the VM: username=hbpschool2016 password=hbp2016
Please ignore all update requests from the OS inside the VM.
- if you get errors while running the VM regarding '64-bit' or 'VT-x', try to run the VM on the Google drive with '32bit' in the filename
- you might get an error about 'shared folder' when first opening the .ova file, you can ignore these.
- for people who to chose the 'hard way' to install Neuron etc. There was an error in the instruction on how to test the Neuron installation (the test command didn't return -65 mV). This is now fixed in the instruction pages.
