Hello all,
for the North American Einstein Toolkit School and Workshop you will need some software installed to be able to get started right away.
This page
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/NCSAETK2017/setup#Handouts
contains information on what software to install. You should at least install a web browser that supports javascript, VisIt and an ssh client. Other software is optional but can be very useful to have. You should not require a powerful laptop as most work will be done using remote machines.
We will have a 1 hour computer setup sessionbefore the school on Monday July 31 from 8am - 9am and will eg have USB sticks with the required software ready. Setting things up in advance will avoid stressful first days when you are trying to handle both the lectures and fixing your laptop.
Yours, Roland
