Setup

• get CCV, "cave-server" and CS accounts
• setup ssh access from CCV and "Cave-server" to CS
• in CCV and "Cave-server":
  • append to .bashrc:

# User specific aliases and functions
export G=~/Sandbox
export CVSROOT=<enter your CS username>@ssh.cs.brown.edu:/research/graphics/cvsroot
export VISLETS=$G/install_linux/etc/
export CAVE=10.2.128.224\

• in "cave-server":$G
  • cvs co $CVSROOT/import/vrui
  • cvs co $CVSROOT/project/meshviewer

Vrui configurations notes

• Do not remove the Vislets section (it seems unneccessary, but Vrui/MeshViewer will just segfault without it)
• X permissions on cave-server (still figuring this out, maybe use the cavedemo user)
