= The Sage Appliance Installation =

<<TableOfContents(2)>>


== Requirements ==

The Sage appliance (packaged virtual machine) can be used on any operating system that supports the free
!VirtualBox player, for example Microsoft Windows. Your computer must
have at least 7 GB (!) of free disk space and at least 512 MB of RAM. The virtual machine can also be used with other hypervisors like VMware. However, unless you are already familiar with VMware, we recommend that you use !VirtualBox. In our experience, it is easier for non-technical users.



== Installation ==

  1. Download !VirtualBox (available at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). Install it anywhere you want. Version 4 or later is required.

  1. Download the file `sage-x.y.z.ova` (for example, `sage-4.7.2.ova`) from [[http://www.sagemath.org/download-windows.html]] (select the location nearest to you).

  1. Open !VirtualBox. Your screen should look like this:

  1. You should see an '''Appliance Import Wizard''' window open:

  1. Import the Sage appliance by clicking '''Choose''' then browsing for the file sage-x.y.z.ova downloaded earlier. Select the file and click '''Next'''.

  1. It is recommended that you accept the settings that appear on the next window by clicking '''Finish''':

== Successful Installation ==

After you have successfully installed the Sage virtual appliance, it will show up in the !VirtualBox window as shown below.
