picolab in your own computer

[pan]

picolab is the piconet in the backend with the jupyter lab on the front end. this tar.gz is provided by the dept it support to the teaching team in 2020, and has been updated by one student in my research lab to work properly with the latest macos and docker, as well as the apple silicon (m1/2)-based mac. try at your own risk

this is only for macos now and has been tested on one student's m1-based macbook air in lab b04. we will try to see whether someone can roll out for windows too

make sure you have installed multipass. download the tar.gz, tar -zxvf into a directory, get into the directory, and say ./picolabvm. it will first pull ubuntu 18.04 for your multipass vm, and then install piconet docker together with jupyterlab, setup piconet (i.e., h1, h2 and r), and finally launch a chrome window in your mac

please make sure you also attend your lab section in person. nothing running in your own computer can replace a capable lab instructor in ecs366 during lab hours

if you already have a ubuntu physical or virtual machine (vm), you can use the picolab-docker.tar.gz directly to build the piconet docker inside your ubuntu as well

also in macos

so just make sure to run ./picolabvm in ~/Downloads/picolab-vm in a terminal window, not click the script in Finder to set up the environment properly
