If you want to avoid creating a virtual machine and installing Ubuntu, Eclipse, and ACP yourself then you can import a pre-configured appliance into VirtualBox.
This process is much simpler and faster than installing all of the software yourself.
1) Download the appliance from the department's S-drive: S/Download/COMPSYS202_MECHENG270
2) Follow the video below to import the appliance.
The default credentials for the appliance are:
Username: ubuntu
Password: admin123
Shared folders allow you to transfer files between your Ubuntu virtual machine and your Windows or OS X host computer.
You can move files and folders to a shared folder from your host operating system or from the virtual machine, and the contents of the shared folder will automatically appear on the other system.
Additionally you can edit the files within a shared folder from your host operating system or from the virtual machine, and the changes you make will be updated on the other system.
The video below outlines the process of creating shared folders.
Install Guest Additions: sudo apt install virtualbox-guest-additions.iso
Give user ubuntu access to the shared folder: sudo usermod -a -G vboxsf ubuntu
