Hints for using EVO http://evo.caltech.edu/evoGate/
First Time
- You need to register an account at CalTech https://evo.caltech.edu/evoGate/Profile/register.jsp
- It will require a working e-mail address (opt-in)
- You need Java on your computer (Microsoft Windows, Linux or Apple Mac)
- From the EVO site, click on “Start” to launch the KOALA application (EVO Client). The KOALA client will be automatically downloaded as well as all the necessary components. Please wait, this process can take few minutes. (Note that (1) you must accept digital signature of Koala and (2) the automatic download will occur for any further update of EVO components).
- this will start "Koala" (as webstart or by clicking on the download koala.jnlp)
Troubleshooting
- you can only have one session per user (older session will terminate, if you re-login)
- you need to allow Java to write temporary data
- On windows: systems settings (Systemsteuerung) -> Java -> Java Control Panel -> common settings (Allgemein)-> temporary internet data (Temporäre Internet Daten) -> Settings (Einstellungen)
- don't forget to check your proxy settings in the Java Control Panel, if Koala cannot download data.
