Welcome to the akutils-v1.2 wiki!

Here you will find information on individual scripts as well as a tutorial for processing your data. Links to akutils wiki pages are found in the sidebar. Other useful links can be found below.

Using akutils:
Executing any akutils command with no arguments will bring up a usage screen. There are also help screens and this wiki. For a basic walk-through, try the tutorial.

Getting akutils:
See the README file which has detailed documentation: akutils-v1.2 README.

Getting akutils (short instructions):

1. Install Ubuntu14.04LTS. I prefer 14.04.1, and then upgrading manually.

2. If in a VirtualBox, run this command to allow your screen resolution to expand to your host hardware:

   sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-x11

3. Run all updates. Don't add anything else just yet.

4. Run the akutils_ubuntu_installation script and follow instructions there.
