This virtual machine has been built to allow Developers to get operational quickly (1.7 Gb):
 * http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/Eden-VM.7z

It is in the Open Virtual Machine format for use in either [http://virtualbox.org VirtualBox] or [http://vmware.com VMWare].

It is currently running the Ubuntu 10.04 OS with Web2Py-r2084, Eden-r889 & Eclipse 3.5

== Usage Guidelines ==
 1. The ubuntu user and the admin account of web2py have the password set to: letmein
 2. The web2py directory on the desktop contains the web2py release and a bzr branch of Eden Trunk located in 
{{{
~/Desktop/Eden-Web2Py/web2py/applications/eden
}}}
 3. Eclipse is preconfigured with the above directory.
 4. Firefox is pre-populated with Eden bookmarks.

{{{
sudo su -
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*
exit
cd Desktop/web2py
bzr up
