Class Virtual Machine Help Center Learn more.

You can now access the class virtual machine, an ubuntu 12.04 32-bit linux image preconfigured with all the software you will need for the course.

You can also get a torrent for the class virtual machine by going to the following URL:
https://spark-public.s3.amazonaws.com/datasci/Coursera-Data-Science-Ubuntu.ova?torrent

You will need a virtual machine player to use this resource: VirtualBox, the free VMPlayer, or the native Windows player should all be able to convert the image or read it directly.

You are not required to use the virtual machine; you can install the (modest) necessary software yourself. At a minimum, you will need Python 2.7, SQLite, R, and git.

The user account password is : 'password'

If you have trouble accessing or using the VM, please post a message to the forum so the staff or your classmates can respond.
