As a convenience, the Maker Hub has chosen to make some of its software available for GFU students/employees to download onto their personal computers. The installation files and instructions are located on the Maker Hub internal wiki. You must be connected to the campus network (or VPN-ed into the campus network) in order to access the Maker Hub internal wiki. The same is true for using Maker Hub software after it is installed; you must either be on the campus network or VPN-ed into the campus network for the software to access the GFU license servers.

So, excuses for missing assignments because you could not get the necessary software running on your personal computer will not hold very much weight. As previously mentioned, the software available for download on this wiki page is provided as a convenience. The content of the installation guides on this wiki are maintained by the engineering faculty who teach the classes requiring the use of a given piece of software. The installation guides are intended to be self-paced. Unfortunately, neither IT nor the Maker Hub staff have the bandwidth to troubleshoot personal computer issues. If you are having trouble downloading software onto your personal computer, please consult your faculty member or a classmate.
