The Centaur Virtual Machine is a VM which contains the necessary Python libraries for GTK Cyber data science courses.
The username for the Centaur VM is centaur
and the password (with sudo
permissions) is Centaur
.
To run Centaur, you will need to install Virtualbox. The VM should work with VMWare but has not been tested. Please download and install the latest version of virtualbox here: https://www.virtualbox.org.
At the time of writing, VirtualBox does not support Apple Silicon. In order to run VirtualBox on Apple Silicon, you'll have to use a development build of VirtualBox which is available here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds
First download the appliance here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_LvSiJA0ZLXGE4B52Uydc0-NcGNqmOK-/view?usp=sharing
Next, untar the file using the TAR program of your choice.
Navigate to the File menu and click on Import Appliance
Next, navigate to the file you just unzipped which contains the Centaur VM and click Continue.
Once you've done that, the next screen will allow you to configure the VM. If you are using Centaur to experiment with the various big data tools, we recommmend allocating as many CPUs and as much RAM as your system will allow. Be sure to check the Reinitialize MAC Address box.
Click continue, accept the license, and VirtualBox will install the appliance!
