1. Download the Virtual Machine image zip file and unpack it
2. Start VirtualBox and click on *File ...* > *Import Appliance ...*
3. Click the green Start arrow. After a minute you should see the console greeting message.

4. Note the username and password here. It is a random password that we generate for you on first boot.
If you log in at the console, you'll be prompted to change the password. This is optional.
5. With your web-browser try ``http://localhost:8888`` or ``http://localhost:80`` or the addess printed on the console.
One of them should work. If not, please review and adjust the network setup of virtualbox to bridged mode.
6. You should see a webpage with login credentials (if you haven't changed them already) and a list of URLs to try to reach the ownCloud web service. Which one works, again depends on the network setup of your hypervisor.

.. note:: Inside the VM, ownCloud runs with a default disk size of 40 GB and its own mysql database. The ownCloud admin user is also a valid account on the ubuntu system that runs inside the VM. You can ssh into the machine and do sudo from there, and administrate the system.

**For VMware**
You can follow most of the steps above, however, after opening the VMX file, you will have to configure ``Bridged Network`` as *Network Adapter*
