Who Should Install this Software?

To complete the assignments for the Unix portion of the class, you will need access to the following PC software. These programs are free for ASU students.

• If you bring your own Microsoft Windows laptop make sure this software is installed on your laptop before the beginning of class Monday October 18. This will be required so that you can complete the in-class exercise on October 18.
• If you use one of the PCs in the lab (GICF) this software will be preinstalled for you. However, you may want to install it on any other Microsoft Windows PC you use. This may make it possible for you to work on your homework project without coming in to the lab!

Download and Install

• SSH Secure Shell

  This program helps you connect to other computers in a way that protects you from people who might be "listening in", trying to grab your password or steal a copy of your files.

• Cortona VRML viewer

  This lets you view 3-dimensional objects using your web browser. After installing the program, go to http://holodraw.org/example/sph.html and select the link that says sph.wrl. When you see a button that says fit in the lower right corner of your screen, click it, and a picture should appear. You can drag the picture with your mouse to view it from different angles. Later, in class, we'll discuss more about how to work with 3D pictures and even how to make your own.
