Setting up Oracle VirtualBox and extension. At this step you're going to install
Downloading and setting up a virtual image
The virtual images can be downloaded from the following location:
We suggest using the latest analysis release. You can find a list of most recent releases in the Release Notes. Note that not all of them would be packaged into the virtual images.
Testing and using the installed machine
Accounts, passwords
Final notes
The default configuration of the virtual machine won't allow external login into the machine (one can'e do 'ssh' into the system). However, it's possible to
