Re: [dstk] ec2setup.txt instructions incomplete. (#17)

Sorry about that Ryan! I'm in the middle of updating the build instructions for some new data sources, so unfortunately they're in flux. Chris Child has successfully imported the Vagrant box into VMWare though, he gives some details in this thread:

"All that needs to be done is to use Virtual Box to export the VM to .ova format and just import it into VMware. That's it! It does assign it's own IP though so users will have to login into the VM and find out what it is."

If you do still need to build your own from scratch, these should be the stable instructions from the last release:

cheers,

Hello,
I'm trying to create an installation of the Data Science Toolkit on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 installation running on VMWare in my datacenter. I've been using the steps listed in ec2setup.txt, but they seem to be missing a step.

Line 49 references the directory ~/sources/dstkdata which has not yet been created. In this directory I am supposed to untar gl_gpwfe_pdens_15_bil_25.tar.gz, but I have no idea where to get that file. glc2000_v1_1_Tiff.zip, SRTM_NE_250m.tif.zip, SRTM_W_250m.tif.zip, SRTM_SE_250m.tif.zip, tmean_30s_bil.zip also lack a source.

By chance, is there a version of the Data Science Toolkit that can run on VMWare? I understand you used to support this.
