We are not able to address software installation issues in the live sessions.

The computer should be relatively modern with a current browser (Chrome, IE 11, Firefox, or Safari). You must also have local admin rights on your computer to do some of the exercises. We also recommend that students have two monitors connected during the training sessions.
