Run a VM guide for RPX
This is a stop gap solution and guide for mac or linux users that want to participate with the RPX token sale and need the windows only NEO GUI wallet. While we are still waiting for other wallets to update on time for the token sale
We will set up a windows virtual machine, virtualization on macs should be enabled automatically. The same steps work for Linux but you may need to enable Virtualization in your motherboard bios. If you use a ryzen cpu this is called SVM with intel it may sometimes be called Hyper V
Mac users can also try out wine. Good luck and contact me on slack with any issues
Download and install Virtualbox, no need to modify any settings
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Download the virtual machine file https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
and extract it somewhere (build in for mac)
Now open Virtualbox and import the file you just extracted
Don’t change anything while importing
Now we can check the settings of our Virtual machine
Give the display all the memory you can give it, better stay away from acceleration
Time to actually start it up, all other settings should be fine out of the box, contact me in case of issues
The password is ” Passw0rd! “
Don’t be surprised if things go slowly macbooks are notorious for running 2 generations behind in cpu’s
Hopefully you can open the edge browser and install the Neo Gui wallet, Make sure to right click and run as administrator when you start it.
Everything about Neo Gui is in my other guide
