VM requirements

If you set up your own VM locally using a VM manager such as VirtualBox:

  • Ensure you enable Intel Virtualization Technology (VTx) and Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) in the BIOS settings.
  • On Windows, you might need to disable Hyper-V in the Windows Feature list.

We recommend you create a VM with the following attributes:

  • Memory size: Set to 4 GB (recommended)
  • Create a virtual hard disk with at least 10 GB (20 GB recommended)
  • Virtual hard disk file type: VDI (if you need to share it with other apps, use VHD)
  • (Optional) You can create a shared directory to copy additional log files or setup files from the host computer to the VM. For details on how to create a shared directory, see "Share Folders" in the Oracle VirtualBox documentation.
