Pre-configured NiftyMIC as Virtual Machine

NiftyMIC can also be used using a pre-configured virtual machine via VirtualBox. The prepared virtual machine builds on Ubuntu 18.04 and can be downloaded from here.

VirtualBox Set-up

  1. Installation of VirtualBox and its Extension Pack.
  2. Import downloaded virtual machine (Ubuntu1804*.ova) via 'File -> Import Appliance ...' and follow the instructions.
  3. Set up the shared folder access via 'Settings -> Shared Folders' and replace '/home/mebner/' in Folder Path by the home directory of your host operating system, i.e. '/home/username/' on Linux or '/Users/username/' on Mac. Leave 'vboxshare' as the Folder Name for the shared folder. After set-up you will be able to access the files of your host operating system within your virtual machine at /media/vboxshare/.
