<h1>Setting up a minimal Expo laptop</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Overview</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 takes most of a day to do it properly.
|
|
<p>To set up your own laptop 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 three <a href="../computing/repos.html">expo repositories</a> <var>loser, drawings</var> and <var>expoweb</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></li>
|
|
<li>Install survex, and therion or tunnel for editing cave data.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once you have got this working, and if it doesn't do what you want or you don't understand how to use it,
|
|
look at the <a href="yourlaptop.html">full laptop configuration</a> for everything else.
|
|
And please <b>write some documentation for the next person</b> in your situation.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Cheat lists and quick reminders</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Quick <a href="qstart-git.html">reminders for using git</a> at the command line.
|
|
<li>Quick <a href="manual.html#quickstart">reminders for using rsync</a> at the command line.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="software">Software</h2>
|
|
<p>If you are just typing up logbook entries then you don't need any other software. If you are working with survey data download this software (short list):
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="https://git-scm.com/">git</a> - version control system</li>
|
|
<li><a href="getsurvex.html">Installing surveying software</a> - survex, tunnel, therion - specifically for expo use
|
|
<li><a href="https://survex.com/download.html">Survex</a>, including the Aven visualisation tool.
|
|
<li><a href="https://github.com/CaveSurveying/tunnelx">Tunnel</a>: 2.5D cave drawing program based on Survex-compatible data which can also read PocketTopo files. (Generally called 'tunnel' even though the project and executable is actually 'tunnelx'.)
|
|
<li><a href="https://therion.speleo.sk/">Therion</a> - Therion processes survey data and generates maps or 3D models of caves.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="configuration">Configuration</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Follow this link to <a href="keyexchange.html">register a key with the expo server</a> to get upload (i.e. read/write) access.
|
|
Do this first, Without it none of git, scp, ftp or rsync will work.
|
|
|
|
<p>On a Windows machine you will need to configure pageant (the putty authentication agent)
|
|
to <a href="https://blog.shvetsov.com/2010/03/making-pageant-automatically-load-keys.html">run at startup to load your key</a>.
|
|
Note that you are loading your <em>private</em> key, the .ppk file, into pageant and that this key never leaves your laptop.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="../putty/putty.html">Installing PuTTy</a>.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="winlaptop.html#hard">A Windows laptop for expo</a> - PuTTy and WSL here.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>When using Windows please, please be <a href="http://expo.survex.com/handbook/survey/getin.htm#filenames">excessively
|
|
careful when naming files and survex names</a> and be <a href="manual.html#quickstart">exceptionally careful when using rsync</a>.
