DTP CP Virtual Machine
======================
For the May and July 2015 trial runs of the Computational Physiology module, we provide a `VirtualBox `_ `virtual machine `_ that contains all the tools and documentation required to participate in the module. Getting participants up and running with the virtual machine requires you to :menuselection:`Machine --> Add` the provided virtual machine - but the tutors are on hand to help with this.
Some useful things to note regarding the provided virtual machine are provided below.
* The default username is ``abi`` with the password ``abipassword``.
* In all the task and example descriptions, :file:`{HOME}` is used to indicate the folder :file:`/home/abi/`.
* `OpenCOR `_ is installed and can be launched via the shortcut on the desktop.
