<p><b>**NOTE:</b> It has been noted that these instructions may result in the failed installation of jep and/or other required python components. We are working on a solution to install the python dependencies properly. If this failure occurs, then numerous products will not render properly. At this time we offer a second option below for Windows users -- download a pre-packaged Linux VM which contains CAVE. We're sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.</p>

<p>Unidata and XSEDE Jetstream have partnered to offer a EDEX data server in the cloud, open to the Unidata university community. Select the server in the Connectivity Preferences dialog, or enter <strong><code>edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu</code></strong> (without <em>http://</em> before, or <em>:9581/services</em> after).</p>

<h2 id="cavedata-directory">caveData Directory<a class="headerlink" href="#cavedata-directory" title="Permanent link"></a></h2>
<p>After connecting to an EDEX server, you will have a local directory named <strong>caveData</strong> which contains files synced from EDEX as well as a client-side cache for data and map resources.</p>
<p>You can reset CAVE by removing the <strong>caveData</strong> directory and reconnecting to an EDEX server. Your local files have been removed, but if you are re-connecting to an EDEX server you have used before, the remote files will sync again to your local <strong>~/caveData</strong> (bundles, colormaps, etc.).</p>
