Astronaut Server/Client Installation Instructions
This is an guide for installing an Astronaut Client in a Virtual Linux Machine, with a Windows Host Machine.
This guide will be broken down into a couple of different components, and will offer overall:
1. How to setup and run the Virtual Machine in VMWare Workstation (or Player) 2. How to install the Astronaut Server 3. How to test the Astronaut Server 4. How to install the Astronaut Client (Windows) 5. How to convert the Virtual Machine into a Virtual Appliance (VMWare Workstation only)
Setting up the Virtual Machine
The first step in this procedure is to make sure that you have a virtual machine, running some form of linux to install to. This guide has been tested and works for Ubuntu Server 12.04 running on VMWare Player 6 and Workstation 10.
Since VMWare Player is free and Workstation is only offered on a 30 day trial, it is recommended that you use VMWare Player first, since any machine created on player can be run on Workstation.
