The following steps are required to install the Linux VM, and optionally link with CSPM.

Get LinuxVM and copy to fast drive

The LinuxVM is a folder (~400GB) file created by Paul. Copy this to a local drive. Ideally use an SSD drive, or alternatively an SSD USB 3.0 external drive (500GB works as of 2015-11-23).

Configure VM settings

Install VMWare Player

VMware Player is the free software than runs the virtual machine (VM). You don't need the paid VMware workstation software to run Linux VM.

Configure memory, processors

Choose and set a "LinuxShare" folder

Select a folder swapping between Windows and Linux; this should have a lot of space (at least 1TB, preferably more). Most of what is stored here can be re-calculated, so the backup is not as critical as for raw study data.

Set up network connection between CSPM and LinuxVM

Install PuTTy

Identify VM network

Define an IP address 

Initialize trusted connection with Windows

Test CSPM connection

Configure FSL and FreeSurfer subject folders
