Steven Caruso Hi Steve, Because of some of the software installed, I can't post the link publicly, but I'll happily send it to you and you can share with whomever you need. If logged in as a faculty member, you can also look at the source html for the http://seaphages.org/software/virtualmachine/ page and get it from there! –Dan |

Yep, you got it Lee. I made the original video with an older version of consed. The new syntax should be:

cdshaffer Done and done. And just as an addendum, the currently posted versions of the 2016 SEA VM have the corrected default Starterator and Phamerator databases. If you download the new VMs now, each program should default to the Actino_Draft database. –Dan |

Hi Jordan, Apologies, we haven't done a great job of letting everyone know the updated Phamerator settings. We've combined all of the Actinobacteria phages into a single Phamerator database. It is now available by using the following settings in Phamerator (go to Edit–>Preferences in Phamerator to change these values). Take care to type exactly, because these are all case-sensitive and must be input exactly as shown. Server: http://phamerator.webfactional.com/databases_Hatfull Database: Actino_Draft After entering both of these values, click "Force Database Update". Wait while Phamerator updates, then it'll prompt you to restart. Do that. If you're prompted for a password at any point, it should be simply: "phage". –Dan |

asjahfed Hi Asjah, I haven't been able to figure out any download-specific problems. We've tested the downloads at several different places and they seem to work. Are you using a hard-wired connection or a wireless connection? I'd recommend hard-wired if you can. It's actually Dropbox that's serving the files, so it should be reputable and reliable. You could also try a different browser if you continue having trouble, or a different internet connection in case there are file-size limits on the ISP you're using. –Dan |

For anyone else who's looking, Starterator is installed only on the seastudent account, so you'll have to log into that one. There should be an icon on the left bar for Starterator thereafter. –Dan |

asjahfed Hi Asjah, What version of Windows are you using? First I would verify that the entire file downloaded. You can check the size (~4.7 Gb) but I'd also suggest verifying the md5sum value to be completely sure you have the intact file. You can use a program like HashCheck on Windows to figure out the md5sum of the file you downloaded. It should exactly match the md5sum posted here. If you're sure you downloaded the entire file, and the md5sum matches, please post here and let us know, and we'll get to the bottom of it. –Dan |

Okay, the Virtual Machine page is now public, but the download links are disabled unless a faculty member is logged in. In addition, only the student password is visible to non-faculty. Hope that works, and let me know if there are any issues. –Dan |

cdshaffer That's a good point, Chris. I'll try to rework the page so that it's open to everyone but only has the download links for logged-in faculty. –Dan |
