Hardware recommendation

In order to work quickly with the VMware image, we recommend the following hardware:

CPU

Dual Core, 2 GHz Main memory 4 GB RAM Hard disk

20 GB free disk space

If you do not meet the recommended hardware requirements, you can find out how to adjust the existing VMware image accordingly in the appendix.

Tools

The VMware image is delivered in a zipped version. You first have to unzip this. To do so, use a compression tool capable of unpacking split zip files. For example, you can download 7-Zip at

http://www.7-zip.org.

To launch the unzipped VMware image, you need the VMware Player.

You can download it at http://www.vmware.com.
