Best option for lab-wide install?

Hello

I was asked to teach a short course on WebODM, during the upcoming Brazilian Symposium on Geophysics. I’ll have access to a computer lab at the university but I’ll need to install WebODM or provide it somehow.

What are my best options? (the computers run on Windows and are not very powerful)

Ask the IT guys to install manually in each computer? (risking it nor working right)

Make a virtual machine and run it? (maybe there is one already?)

Thanks

Generally with workshops, I’ve had a lot of success having a centralized processing machine and a single login or a bunch of login’s configured on the machine. It does require that centralized machine be thoughtfully configured and fairly powerful, but as long as the network connection to it is decent, that can be a physical machine on site or a cloud hosted machine.

This tends to be easier logistically than a bunch of installs on each machine, which IMO make more sense for ongoing classroom work than a workshop.

I also thought about WebODM Lightning. The students can register and receive 150 credits, and this should be enough for a small dataset used in the course
