Working from home
Please remember that you are encouraged to work in the ITLabs and your
programs will be tested using the ITLabs machines. It is YOUR
responsibility to make sure your programs work on the ITLabs machines.
Also remember that the TAs are not offering any help figuring out how to
install and run the STk Scheme interpreters on your home machines.
By remotely connecting to ITLABS machines (From Windows..)
- First of all, this works only if graphics is not involved.
- Open TWO SSH windows
- Using SSH
- Connect to "yellow.itlabs.umn.edu"
(Available itlabs machines;
[color, cartoon_characters,fish_names].itlabs.umn.edu)
- Type your login id and password
- Change directory to cs1901/lab#
- Do the same thing for another SSH terminal
- In one window (edit window), type &qout;emacs -nw filename.scm&qout;
- In another window (STk window), type "snow"
- In the edit window, edit (create, modify, save) the file
- To create a new file or to open an existing file, CTRL-X CTRL-O,
then type a filename on the commandline at the BOTTOM of EMACS
- To save a file, CTRL-X CTRL-S (SAVE)
- To save to another file, CTRL-X CTRL-W (SAVE AS)
- To exit from Emacs, CTRL-X CTRL-C (EXIT)
- In the STk window, run test cases
remember to load the file you are editing
By using the STk Scheme interpreter for Windows (or Linux)
- Download STk here
(Download the latest version -- 4.0.1 right now)
- Install it on your machine.
- Windows: When you unzip STkwin32-4.0.1.zip file, there is a document called
install.doc. Make SURE that you read it and follow the instructions there.
- Windows: Open the editor by clicking on the SECOND icon (a paper and a pencil icon)
- Windows: Once you are done and ready to submit, SFTP (Secure File Transfer)
your file(s) to ITLABS account.
- Print out your files and test cases
