Run on a virtual machine

This page provides steps to use Testrun within a virtual machine in VirtualBox. VMWare and other providers haven't been tested yet. You should use these instructions alongside the Get started guide.

Prerequisites

Hardware

Before you start with Testrun, ensure you have the following hardware:

  • PC running any OS that supports VirtualBox
  • 2x USB Ethernet adapter (built-in Ethernet connections aren't supported)
  • Internet connection

Software

Ensure you have VirtualBox installed on the host PC. Then, install the following software on your virtual machine:

Installation

As part of installation, you must add the default user to the sudo group:

  1. Open a terminal and run sudo su to log in as root.
  2. Enter your password when prompted.
  3. Add the default user to the sudo group by running adduser {username} sudo.
  4. Restart the virtual machine.
  5. Follow the steps in the Get started guide to complete the installation.

Start Testrun

Follow these steps to start Testrun. Keep in mind that attaching USB Ethernet adapters is different when working in a virtual machine.

  1. Ensure the 2x adapters are attached to the host PC.
  2. With the virtual machine running, right-click the USB icon in the bottom-right of the window.
  3. Select the 2x Ethernet adapter names. The two adapters should now appear in the virtual machine.
