In this section, we will give instructions to install the necessary tools on your computer to have remote access to our lab’s server at the University of Tokyo. There are two tasks:

Step 1-1: All machines that connect to ZeroTier must have ZeroTier Client installed. Please download the software here and follow the installation instructions.
After installation, run Terminal and check your ZeroTier address using the following command (optional, you can either use this or the GUI on MacOS below):
sudo zerotier-cli status
# Example output: 200 info cdf8b3cc0d 1.10.6 ONLINE
In the example above, cdf8b3cc0d is your computer’s ZeroTier address, 1.10.6 is the ZeroTier version, and ONLINE means you are connected to the internet.
On MacOS, after installation, ZeroTier has a menu item as shown in the screenshot below. Here, your computer’s address is next to “My Address”, which in this case is ae9fde11d5.
Step 1-2: Send your address (e.g. ae9fde11d5) to @Hoang NT ([email protected] , on Slack, or [email protected]).
Step 1-3: Join our lab’s network using the 16 digits address 35c192ce9b113281 by clicking Join New Network... or the following command (optional):
sudo zerotier-cli join 35c192ce9b113281
# Output should be: Join OK
<aside> 🗒️ If you’re on Windows, other Linux distros, or other OSes, please feel free to ask @Hoang NT if you need assistance.

<aside> 🗒️ (Optional) Remember to disconnect from the network when you are done with your work, and reconnect when you need to access the virtual machine.
