2. Start the VM
3. Login with griduser:password
4. Execute `sudo bash`
5. (Optional) execute `apt-get update; apt-get upgrade` apt will not work until `apt-get update` has been executed
6. Download Condor, IPOP, and COW Debian Packages.
7. Install them using
   1. `dpkg --install condor.deb`
   2. `dpkg --install ipop.deb`
   3. `dpkg --install cow.deb`
8. Add your features
9. (Optional) If you would like to redeploy your appliance, run `clean.sh` and this will remove unnecessary clutter from the VM.
