= Installation Guidelines: Virtual Machine =

We'll be using the standard [wiki:InstallationGuidelines/VirtualMachine developer virtual machine environment]. You'll follow the same instructions for setting it up, with the exception that we'll have the virtual machine image and (for Windows and Mac) the !VirtualBox installers on flash drives, so they don't need to be downloaded.

(If you're at GHC on Friday 10/4, you can contact ptressel on freenode IRC or ptressel@sahanafoundation.org via email, if you'd like, to copy them in advance of the codeathon.)

The files to copy are:
 * The VM image !EdenDevEnv.ova
 * If you are installing on Windows or Mac, copy the appropriate !VirtualBox installer for your system.
 * If you are installing on Linux, then you'll need to get the [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads VirtualBox kit appropriate for you Linux distribution] from the !VirtualBox site.
