<h2 id="basic">Your own basic laptop</h2>
<p>If you are new to expo please use the <em>expo laptop</em> first. You don't <em>need</em> to use your own laptop - which can take several hours to configure completely.
<p>If you are new to expo and can't do what you want with just a browser and email, then please use the <em>expo laptop</em> in the potato hut first. You don't <em>need</em> to use your own laptop - which can take several hours to configure completely.
<p>To set up your own basic laptop for all cave data maintenance you need to do this:</p>
<ol>
<li>Register an SSH key</a> with an expo nerd i.e 'get a login'. (see "Key Configuration" below)</li>
<li>Install <a href="#software">git version control software</a> to download ("clone"), view and edit caving data.</li>
<li>Clone two <a href="../computing/repos.html">expo repositories</a> <var>loser</var> and <var>drawings</var> so you have the files on your machine. (Use the <a href="qstart-git.html">git reminder</a> for how to do this, e.g. <em>git clone ssh://expo@expo.survex.com:/home/expo/expoweb</em> [actually <var>los</var> is still (Oct.2021) using mercurial not git.</li>
<li>Clone two <a href="../computing/repos.html">expo repositories</a> <var>loser</var> and <var>drawings</var> so you have the files on your machine. (Use the <a href="qstart-git.html">git reminder</a> for how to do this, e.g. <em>git clone ssh://expo@expo.survex.com:/home/expo/expoweb</em> [actually <var>loser</var> is still (Oct.2021) using mercurial not git, so this won't work.]</li>
<li>Install survex, and therion or tunnel for editing cave data.
<li>Install image editing software such as Irfanview or gimp.
<li>If you are also planning on extensive work rewriting parts of the handbook, then you will also need the <a href="../computing/repos.html">expo repository</a> <var>expoweb</var>.
