This section is for those who wish to run a local version of Islandora as a Virtual Machine Image. It's assumed that you do not have a current running version of Islandora. If you are running an installation of Islandora, you do not need to review this section. If you want to install Islandora from scratch, please see Enterprise Installation section.
Installing the Islandora Virtual Machine
In order to install the Islandora Virtual Machine, you'll have to have administrative access to your computer. Because you are running another system within your operating system, your computer cannot be minimally resourced. While minimal requirements for the Virtual Machine are not clearly defined (much depends on how patient you are with a slow-running virtual machine) you should never have less than 4GB of RAM available.
The latest Islandora Virtual Machine image can be obtained from islandora.ca.
There is also a bleeding edge Vagrant option directly from the GitHub.
Installation instructions are available for Windows or Mac OSX, but these are somewhat outdated.
