At some point during the semester, you may need to use a virtual desktop that has been created for students in CS courses. To do so, you need to install the VWware Horizon Client as follows:
Go to the VMware download page.
Find the row in the product table that says VMware Horizon Client for Windows and click the Go to Downloads link found on the right-hand side of that row.
On the resulting page, click the blue Download Now button.
Double-click the icon for the downloaded file. This will start up an installer program.
When presented with the license agreement, click Agree & Install.
Wait for the installer to finish and then close it. You can now delete the installer program.
Restart your computer as needed to complete the installation.
To use this software off-campus, you will also need to use BU’s virtual private network, which you can download by following the instructions found here: Setting Up and Using the VPN
