You need to have Virtualization enabled in your BIOS or this will not work.
Every BIOS is different, look up your model for more information on how to do it, here is some examples for Intel and AMD https://2nwiki.2n.cz/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=75202968

Download and install Virtual Box

Get the latest release from this link https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Run the installer and follow the steps

Download the Kadena Virtual Machine

Get latest version here

https://www.kadena.io/chainweaver

Import VM into Virtual Box

Open Virtual Box and in File, select Import Appliance

Click on the folder on the right and select Chainweaver .ova file
By default, the file should be in your Downloads folder

Default settings should be fine but you can increase the numbers of CPU and RAM to make it snappier (Do not put more than the computer actually has)

Start the VM

Select the VM and click start, a new window will pop out with the virtual machine screen

Wait a few minutes and you will be greeted by Chainweaver

It would ask to create or restore seed words on a new install
After that you only need your password to log in
