We have created a virtual machine with Scala and several other course-specific software tools installed. You must use this virtual machine to do the homework and projects for the class. Follow the steps below to install the virtual machine:
-
Download and install VirtualBox
-
Download cs220.ova (2.37 GB)

Double-click on the
cs220.ovafile you downloaded above (or, select Import Appliance from the File menu and select the file). When you do, VirtualBox will start and display a prompt called Appliance Settings. Do not change any settings. Just click the Import button. When importing completes, the virtual machine will appear in VirtualBox, as shown below:

Select the CS220 virtual machine and click the Start button. If the machine starts successfully, you will see the desktop shown below:
