Students may find setting up a software development environment foreign and unnecessarily complicated. As a public service, a virtual machine (VM) image has been posted which includes all the required tools, libraries, header files, etc. for creating, debugging and submitting your homework assignments.
The requirements are the following:
- A recent Intel or AMD processor (VT-x/AMD-V extension support required)
- At least 8 GB of RAM
- A 64 bit host operating system (Apple's OS X 10.7 or greater; Microsoft's Windows XP 64 bit or newer)
- VirtualBox version 5 or greater (not version 4)
You'll need to know if your host operating system is 32 bit or 64 bit and what kind of processor you are using.
Your processor needs to support the VT-x/AMD-V extension. If your processor supports these instructions yet does not allow you to boot the VM, then the instructions may be disabled from your computer's BIOS. Check the settings of your BIOS and, if needed, update your system's BIOS to enable the instructions.
Import the '.ova' file into VirtualBox to create a new VM.
To log in, use the username 'me' and the password 'me123'.
The VM images include GCC, CLANG/LLVM, Python2, Python3, Common Lisp, Java, NASM, SQLite3, subversion, git, graphviz, virtualenv, pip, FreeImage, FREEGLUT, GLFW3, GLEW, and Google's cloud services APIs.

If you do not want to use the VM posted on this page but would like to install the neccessary software to get your homework done, then there are a few scripts that you can use that will install packages that would typically satisfy your development needs for the topic given below. Be aware that the scripts target a Debian-style *nix system such as Debian and Ubuntu.
After downloading the script to your Debian-style *nix system, execute the script using sudo. For example sudo sh ./ubuntu_graphicsdev.
The Titan OpenGL Kit includes FreeImage, GLEW, GLFW3, GLI, GLM, Google Test, and the Red Book examples. It is meant for students who are capable of modifying their development environment to have projects link against third-party libraries. Students who are not comfortable using a binary library are strongly urged to use the instructor provided VM which includes these libraries.
