A virtual machine ("VM") is software that runs an operating system within a computer. For MRI analyses, we run Linux software on a windows computer. We install the virtual machine software (VMware), and that software runs Linux. The shorthand is "LinuxVM."
These pages are principally designed for the system administrator who will be creating the LinuxVM. If you are a user, you would typically start off with a large set of files that compose the LinuxVM.
Technical Note: For text files to be used in Linux, open as "t" to avoid the DOS double-charater CR+LF at the end of each line (CR = carriage return /r, LF = line feed /n). (http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-15HVX/index.html?product=SL&solution=1-15HVX link]
e.g., id = fopen(newfile.bat,'wt+');
The Linux command dos2unix will remove CR characters.
