Revision history [back]

I agree that this part was not maintained. Unsurprisingly, nobody wants to manually build a new virtual machine by hand whenever a new Sage version comes out. Just recently I wrote the scripts to automatically generate new virtual machine, which should make maintenance much easier. So in the future we should always have a up-to-date virtual machine in a timely manner.

The virtual uses the standard ova format. VirtualBox has a one-click install ("import appliance"). You should be also able to use the virtual image in VMware but its not as easy to import and you have to use VMware's ovftool. I don't have VMware installed so somebody else should try it out and write instructions...
