Hands‑On Lab Guidelines!

[#1]

This article provides you with general guidelines that apply for All Ara-2 Lab SW packages. Follow the steps below to download, prepare, and execute each lab successfully.

---

1. Download the Lab Package

All lab packages are hosted in the Ara2‑SW‑Packages v1.3.0 location.

After opening the shared link:

• Navigate to corresponding Package folder
• Download all contents of that folder to your local machine
• Ensure the folder structure remains intact

---

2. Important Files Inside the Package

Each package includes two key HTML files:

️ INSTALL.html

Provides step‑by‑step instructions to install prerequisites and prepare your environment.

README.html

Contains details about the lab scenario, execution steps, and additional notes.

Important:
These HTML files must be downloaded and opened locally.
Opening them directly from the WorkDrive browser will cause them to load incorrectly.

Once downloaded, simply double‑click to open them in your browser — they are fully self‑contained and easy to follow.

3. Running the Lab

After completing the installation steps in INSTALL.html:

• Review the scenario and steps in README.html
• Execute the lab tasks at your own pace
• Return to the forum to share results, ask questions, or support others!

4. Watch the Walkthrough Video

A video file is included in each package.

This video walks you through the same steps described in INSTALL.html and README.html, providing a visual guide to installation, setup, and execution.

You can use the video as:

• A companion guide while following the HTML instructions
• A quick overview before starting the lab
• A reference if you prefer visual, step‑by‑step walkthroughs
