[[Category:SPO600]]
For [[SPO600]], remote access to [[SPO600 Servers|Linux systems]] is provided. Howerver, it is strongly recommended that you have access to a personal x86_64 (64-bit AMD/Intel) or ARM64 Linux system . I recommend running the latest release of [http://get.fedoraproject.org Fedora] to match the [[SPO600 Servers|class ARM servers]], and because Fedora has a very up-to-date version of the gcc compiler which supports [[SVE2]].
'''This system could be set up:'''
* As a virtual machine on your laptop
* On a computer at your home, ideally with [[SSH]] access (so you can connect to your home system from class)
* On a removable USB drive or external disk pack (note: this is not preferred, because you will not be able to use it during class in the [[ALC]])
You may want to installing virtual machine/emulation/simulation software on this machine, in which case a fast/large system is desirable.
'''Recommended system configuration (especially if using emulation):'''
* x86_64 (avoid installing Install a 3264-bit version of the OS or using a 32-bit-only computerLinux operating system ([https://getfedora.org Fedora] is recommended)* Minimum 2GB RAM (Recommended: as much as possible!)* Minumum 50GB 32GB disk space
'''Initial software to install:'''
* Development tools and libraries (on Fedora: <code>yum dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"</code>).* The qemu-aarch64 emulation tool (on Fedora: <code>dnf install qemu-user</code>).
* A GUI is optional and may not be required (especially if the system is being accessed remotely).
<!-- * You may want to consider setting up [[AArch64 QEMU User Space Emulation]].-->
