Hi Brandon, 

I think I have a solution for you!  If you can try and download this zipped 
file at:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10mrUQ5jo72C543fqY2t7rbGuXx49n9FH/view?usp=sharing
I had to upload it to my google drive, because it's too large to send in an 
email.
Once it's downloaded on your Windows machine, you'll have to unzip it by right
clicking and selected "Extract All".  All the files will get extracted into 
their
own folder.
Then you can open VMWare Player and go to Player >> File... >> Open and then 
find the
folder that was created when you extracted the zip file.  There should be one 
file
in there called CentOS 7 - Unidata CAVE.  Click on that, and you'll see a new 
option
available in your VMWare Menu on the right hand side.  Run that, and if it asks 
if 
you've moved or copied it, say you copied it.
It should run for you.
The user is named awips, and the password is awips.  If you ever need the root 
password
that is unidataAWIPS.
There should be a cave application on the desktop that you can just double 
click and 
run.  It is pointed to the edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu EDEX server.  I tested 
it out
by running the precip type map and QG Frontogenesis isobaric layer between 
800-750
map.  Everything seemed to be working.
Please let me know how this goes for you.
Good luck!
Thanks.
