+## 2.4 - Downloading tools
+
+Now that our prep system is up, let's `ssh` into it and download the content we'll need to support our install on the high side.
+
+Copy the commands below into your web terminal. Let's start by retrieving the IP for the new ec2 instance and then connecting via `ssh`:
+
+> Note: If your `ssh` command times out here, your prep system is likely still booting up. Give it a minute and try again.
+
+```bash
+PREP_SYSTEM_IP=$(aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=tag:Name,Values=disco-prep-system" | jq -r '.Reservations[0].Instances[0].PublicIpAddress')
+echo $PREP_SYSTEM_IP
+
+ssh -i ~/disco_key ec2-user@$PREP_SYSTEM_IP
+```
+
+
+For the purposes of this workshop, rather than downloading mirror content to a USB drive as we would likely do in a real SneakerOps situation, we will instead be saving content to an EBS volume which will be mounted to our prep system on the **Low side** and then subsequently to our bastion system on the **High side**.
+
+Once your prep system has booted let's mount the EBS volume we attached so we can start downloading content. Copy the commands below into your web terminal:
+
+```bash
+sudo mkfs -t xfs /dev/nvme1n1
+sudo mkdir /mnt/high-side
+sudo mount /dev/nvme1n1 /mnt/high-side
+sudo chown ec2-user:ec2-user /mnt/high-side
+cd /mnt/high-side
+```
+
+With our mount in place let's grab the tools we'll need for the bastion server - we'll use some of them on the prep system too. Life's good on the low side; we can download these from the internet and tuck them into our high side gift basket at `/mnt/high-side`.
+
+There are four tools we need, copy the commands for each into your web terminal to download each one:
+
+1. `oc` OpenShift cli
+
+```bash
+curl https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/ocp/stable/openshift-client-linux.tar.gz -L -o oc.tar.gz
+tar -xzf oc.tar.gz oc && rm -f oc.tar.gz
+sudo cp oc /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+2. `oc-mirror` oc plugin for mirorring release, operator, and helm content
+
+```bash
+curl https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/ocp/stable/oc-mirror.tar.gz -L -o oc-mirror.tar.gz
+tar -xzf oc-mirror.tar.gz && rm -f oc-mirror.tar.gz
+chmod +x oc-mirror
+sudo cp oc-mirror /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+3. `mirror-registry` small-scale Quay registry designed for mirroring
+
+```bash
+curl https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/mirror-registry/latest/mirror-registry.tar.gz -L -o mirror-registry.tar.gz
+tar -xzf mirror-registry.tar.gz
+rm -f mirror-registry.tar.gz
+```
+
+4. `openshift-installer` The OpenShift installer cli
+
+```bash
+curl https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/ocp/stable/openshift-install-linux.tar.gz -L -o openshift-installer.tar.gz
+tar -xzf openshift-installer.tar.gz openshift-install
+rm -f openshift-installer.tar.gz
+```
