CCA Tools requires use of BitCurator, a customized Linux operating system, that we run on a virtual machine through Windows or as a standalone machine on FRED.

To access do the following on Windows, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Oracle Virtual Box shortcut on the Windows desktop screen

  2. Virtual Box will open, click on the BitCurator with the latest most current version number after it (e.g. 4.4.0)

  3. Wait for the operating system to load. Once you see a screen with a blue background, BitCurator is ready to use.

To access on FRED, turn on the computer and log in with the BitCurator username (bcadmin) and password.
