Your user name is your slice name
E.g. with OpenSSH:

*ssh -l irb_phi \
-i ~/.ssh/id_planetlab \
**planet1.berkeley.intel-research.net
*

sudo yum install gcc

• sudo allows you to be root in your sliver
• yum is the redhat package manager
• You can use any RPM packages you want in your sliver
• Caveat Emptor: yum may take up to one hour to initialize and begin installation of your packages

scp -l huji_dimes \
-i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -r \
localdir evgsics7.sics.se:

• Copy localdir to the remote machine

rsync -a -e “ssh -l huji_dimes” \
localdir evgsics7.sics.se:

• Update the remote directory. Copies only those files that are different
• Copy binaries to the node to run
• scp or rsync works for small numbers of nodes
• Ensure library dependencies are satisfied
