In order to prepare to this training you should/must do the following List of readings and exercises. If you have questions, please open an issue and we will be glad to answer, you might be helping other participants too.
TODO List
To get the most out of this session, you'll need to have a system
running SmartOS. There are 2 ways to do this:
- Run it in a virtual machine on VMware, Parallels, VirtualBox, or some other virtual machine environment.
- Get a virtual machine from the Joyent cloud.
You can choose an image that has node pre-installed by running:
imgadm avail | grep node
Or, you can install a base-64 image and then
pkgin install node
To run a machine in the Joyent cloud, go to http://www.joyent.com,
create an account, and then provision a machine, (there are machines
that have node pre-installed).
In the Joyent cloud, there is a free Developer Tier, which allows you to create one small instance valid for 1 year of trial usage. However, to provision that instance you must add a valid credit card to your account so we can validate that the account is not fraudulent.
New accounts won’t be billed if they only provision that single developer tier instance.
Test by running node on the code example in materials. More examples
will be coming.
Hey Ricardo Tomasi!

To run SmartOS in a virtual machine, go to http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Download+SmartOS, where you'll find SmartOS images to download, along with instructions. After SmartOS is booted, you'll need to create a zone. Instructions are at http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/How+to+create+a+zone+%28+OS+virtualized+machine+%29+in+SmartOS.
