2. Make the /usr/class directory

sudo mkdir /usr/class

3. Make the directory owned by you

sudo chown $USER /usr/class

cd /usr/class

wget http://spark-university.s3.amazonaws.com/stanford-compilers/vm/student-dist.tar.gz

5. Untar

tar -xf student-dist.tar.gz

6. If you want things exactly like the VMs:

　　Add a symlink to your home directory

　　ln -s /usr/class/cs143/cool ~/cool

7. Add the bin directory to your $PATH environment variable. If you are using bash, add to your .profile (or .bash_profile, .bashrc etc. depending on your configuration; note that in Ubuntu have to log out and back in for this to take effect):

vim ~/.bashrc and append

PATH=/usr/class/cs143/cool/bin:$PATH

sudo apt-get install xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi
