We will be using Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager to manage our Node Virtual Machine for Windows host.

I. Virtual Box Installation

Downloads - Oracle VM VirtualBox

1. Download VirtualBox from Official website. Link is provided above. Select "Windows hosts" as shown below.

   

2. Click Save File. The VirtualBox version number might be different from the image shown below.

   

3. Run the downloaded executable file and follow the on-screen instructions for installation.

II. Setup the Virtual Machine

1. Download the virtual box settings and virtual disk image file from

   https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/aenpublic/ubuntu-server-18.04.vbox

   https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/aenpublic/ubuntu-server-18.04.vdi

2. By default, VirtualBox saves the files for the virtual machine at the following path: C:\Users\{Your User}\VirtualBox VMs. You can move the downloaded files to this path and place them inside a folder named aen-node.

   

3. Run VirtualBox and add a virtual machine by clicking Machine and then Add.

   

4. Find and select the virtual machine we have just downloaded.

   

5. Run the virtual machine by selecting it and clicking the "Run" green arrow. You will be asked for a login. Enter "aenuser". You will be asked for a password. Enter "aenpass".

   

6. And that's it. You have a working virtual machine to run the Aen Node in.
