1. Download all the software: (update the existing repository)
    1. Matlab R2010a (student matlab concurrent)
    2. VLC 1.0.5 win32
    3. Open Office 3.2.0 (includes JRE) - install before Matlab
    4. MIT Secure CRT/FX 6.2.3
    5. MIT GAIM 1.5.0 installer (should we got to Pidgin?)
    6. VirusScan 8.7i (already installed in base)
    7. Java Development Environment
    8. Firefox 3.6.3
    9. Pidgin 2.6.6
    10. HP LaserJet 8100 driver (Windows 7 32-bit Universal Postscript Driver 5.0.3 16 Dec 2009)

Not included:
Mathematica 7 (should point students at in student documentation VM http://ist.mit.edu/services/software/vsls/mathematica/students to download and install)
The install is 474MB and requires a hardware keyed license that probably will not survive generalization.

Installing software:

  1. SecureCRT/FX
  2. FireFox
  3. VLC
    1. Added Mozilla plugin
  4. OpenOffice (unpack to Z:)
  5. Pidgin
  6. Matlab
    1. The following products you have installed require a compiler to run: MATLAB Compiler 4.13 MATLAB Builder JA 2.1 MATLAB Builder EX 1.2.15 Simulink 7.5 Stateflow 7.5 Real-Time Workshop 7.5 Make sure you have one of the supported compilers installed on your machine. 2. SimBiology simulations can now be accelerated when a compiler is installed. It is recommended that you install a supported compiler on your machine. Run mex -setup to configure MATLAB to use an installed compiler. 3. Run mbuild -setup from MATLAB before using MATLAB Compiler or builder products. This command sets up the C/ C++ compiler to be used with MATLAB Compiler and builder products to create deployable applications/ components.

  7. Enable LPR port - Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows Features On/Off
    1. Print and Document Services
    2. Check LPR Port Monitor
  8. Add the various printers from http://ist.mit.edu/services/athena/clusters
      1. Devices and Printers (from Start Menu) - click Add a Printer
        1. Add a local printer
        2. Create a new port
        3. LPR Port
          1. Specify get-print.mit.edu for server name
          2. Printer (e.g., ajax) for print queue name
        4. Click Have Disk
        5. Navigate to the HP Driver folder, select HP Universal Printing PS - Click Next
        6. Change the name to reflect QUEUE (Location) e.g. AJAX (W20-575) - Click Next
        7. Do NOT share this printer
        8. Uncheck Set as Default Printer (we want to keep the local pass through printing as default)
        9. Click Finish - Rinse and Repeat
