 <h3>Short-cut</h3>
 If you have never done any bulk updates, and don't understand git, but want to look at the code and maybe run it, then there is a shortcut. You do not actually need to do all the Bulk Update machine configuration first.
   <p>You can download the code without having a key-pair like this:
-<pre><code>$ mkdir ~/expo
+<pre><code>mkdir ~/expo
-$ cd ~/expo
+cd ~/expo
-$ git clone http://expo.survex.com/repositories/troggle/.git</code></pre>
+git clone http://expo.survex.com/repositories/troggle/.git trog-temp</code></pre>
-  This will create <var>~/expo/troggle/</var> and get you a copy of the configuration scripts
+  This will create <var>~/expo/trog-temp/</var> and get you a copy of the configuration scripts
   <ul><var>
-    <li>troggle/_deploy/wsl/os-trog24.04.sh
+    <li>trog-temp/_deploy/wsl/os-trog24.04.sh
-    <li>troggle/_deploy/wsl/os-survey.sh
+    <li>trog-temp/_deploy/wsl/os-survey.sh
-    <li>troggle/_deploy/wsl/venv-trog.sh
+    <li>trog-temp/_deploy/wsl/venv-trog.sh
     </var>
   </ul>
   but you need to make them executable before they will work:
-  <pre><code>$ cd ~/expo/troggle
+  <pre><code>mv ~/expo/trog-temp/_deploy/wsl/*.sh ~/expo
-cp _deploy/wsl/*.sh .
+cd ~/expo
-$ chmod +x *.sh</code></pre>

+rm -fr trog-temp</code></pre>
+  Now go to <a href="#scripts">scripts</a>.<br/> [ Yes
+  it's a pain having to clone the whole repo just to get only 4 scripts. But getting a repo in this way gets it in a config that means you can't work with it (maybe a git nerd can edit this page to tell us how to do that). We have to clone it properly using ssh to do that . Alternatively you can get the first script by cutting and pasting from the webpage at <a href="https://expo.survex.com/repositories/troggle/.git/tree/_deploy/wsl/os-trog24.04.sh">expo.survex.com/repositories/troggle/.git/tree/_deploy/wsl/os-trog24.04.sh</a> ]
