Create a directory for the wattmeter related installations

All the lab will be done in the $HOME/ENV4101/wattmeter-lab directory. To create (if necessary) and go to that directory with:

mkdir -p $HOME/ENV4101

mkdir -p $HOME/ENV4101/wattmeter-lab

cd $HOME/ENV4101/wattmeter-lab

unzip VirtualHub.linux.50357.zip
sudo cp 64bits/VirtualHub /usr/sbin/
sudo cp startup_script/yvirtualhub.service /etc/systemd/system/ # copy the systemd startup script on /etc/systemd/system/
