-title: Create standard objects
+title: Add an Arvados repository
...
+Next, we're going to use the Arvados CLI tools on the <strong>shell server</strong> to create a few Arvados objects. These objects set up a hosted clone of the arvados repository on this cluster.
+This will be readable by the "All users" group, and therefore by every active user. This makes it possible for users to run the bundled Crunch scripts by specifying @"script_version":"master","repository":"arvados"@ rather than pulling the Arvados source tree into their own repositories.
-h3. "All users" group
-
-The convention is to add every active user to this group. We give it a distinctive UUID that looks like an IP broadcast address.
-
-<pre>
-prefix=`arv user current | cut -d- -f1`
-read -rd $'\000' newgroup <<EOF; arv group create --group "$newgroup"
-{
- "uuid":"$prefix-j7d0g-fffffffffffffff",
- "name":"All users"
-}
-EOF
-</pre>
-
-h3. "arvados" repository
-
-This will be readable by the "All users" group, and therefore by every active user. This makes it possible for users to run the bundled Crunch scripts by specifying a commit like "arvados:HEAD", rather than having to pull the Arvados git tree into their own repositories.
-
-<pre>
-prefix=`arv user current | cut -d- -f1`
-all_users_group_uuid="$prefix-j7d0g-fffffffffffffff"
-repo_uuid=`arv repository create --repository '{"name":"arvados"}'`
-echo "Arvados repository uuid is $repo_uuid"
-
-read -rd $'\000' newlink <<EOF; arv link create --link "$newlink"
-{
