For the best experience it is recommended to run Route 0 experiments using the
Virtual Machine (VM) image developed specifically for this project.

1. [Download the ova file](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mlovQSG-xYbBFboqUwKugpQrQNCEoWzd).
2. In VirtualBox select `File->Import Appliance`, select the downloaded ova
file and then confirm all the settings. You may adjust the settings, but
the defaults will work just fine.
3. Start the Virtual Machine.
4. (Optional) For a better experience install the VirtualBox Guest Additions.
Instructions on how to do that can be found

If you are using VirtualBox, you may find it useful to install the Guest
Additions. To install these Guest Additions follow [these
instructions](https://askubuntu.com/questions/22743/how-do-i-install-guest-additions-in-a-virtualbox-vm).
### VirtualBox Guest Additions
If you are using VirtualBox, you may find it useful to install the VirtualBox
Guest Additions. Note that these are not actually included in the provided VM
image as the installation depends on VirtualBox version.
The best way to install the guest additions is to install them from the ISO
image provided by VirtualBox. Before doing that though, you need to first
install `dkms` and `build-essential`. In the terminal run
```
sudo apt install dkms build-essential
```
Now you need to obtain the CD. Open your VM and from the menu bar select
`Devices->Insert Guest Additions CD image`. This will download the image.
In case the download fails, you can download the image directly from the
[VirtualBox website](http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/). Make sure
you choose the right version for your VirtualBox installation (you can find it
from the menu bar `Help->About VirtualBox`) and download the
`VBoxGuestAdditions_<version>.iso`. Once the download completes make sure to
mount it in the settings window of your virtual machine.
Open the file explorer and navigate to the inserted CD. From here right click
and select `Open Terminal Here`. The last step is now to run
```
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
```
Once the installation completes, reboot the VM. Amongst other things you can
now enable the shared clipboard from the menu bar with `Devices->Shared
Clipboard`.
