Installing on VM
The virtual machine (VM) to help you get into the air as quickly as possible, it has all
software you need for flight and development pre-installed.
Unfortunately there have been some reports lately of problems using the VM with USB. If
you experience problems when flying, consider a native solution.
install VirtualBox
Before downloading the virtual machine you must have VirtualBox or some other
virtualization application installed on your computer. VirtualBox is a cross-platform
virtualization application that imports and runs our preconfigured virtual machine.
Download and install Oracle VirtualBox. (https://www.virtualbox.org/)
