Installing and running in a Virtual Machine

The exact instructions depend on the VM software you will use:

The basic idea is that you create an empty VM disk space (10-20gb is typical), mount the downloaded ISO image as a DVD (or CD) drive, then boot and install to the VM disk from the Live DVD. Once it is installed you can boot directly into the VM without having the DVD image attached.

(this information now out-of-date?)

The old 2.0 Virtual Machine can be viewed from http://click2try.com from within a web browser with Java plugin enabled.

  1. Open http://www.click2try.com/catalog/Web-Development/Geospatial/Arramagong-GISVM/details
  2. Click the big Try this application now button.
  3. Review the connection test results and fix, if necessary.
  4. Either wait for the application to launch or click the Launch App button.
  • Login with user=user, password=user
  • You should see the icons for the Geospatial applications on the desktop. You can start and try any application.
