Installation ERPNext in Docker 1
#erpnext #opensource #docker #microsoft #windows #desktop #window10
1. Press the "New" button, and name your virtual machine. Make sure your "Type" is set to "Microsoft Windows," and your "Version" is set to "Windows 10." Just make sure you match the x64 version with a 64-bit VM and the x86 version with a 32-bit VM.
2. Allocate RAM
Now, you need to decide how much RAM you want to allocate for this VM. For the x86 version, you'll need at least 1GB of RAM. For the x64 version, you'll need 2GB. I have 16GB of RAM on my desktop, so I decided that 4GB was right for my configuration. Whatever you decide, just make sure you stay in the green.
3. Create a virtual drive
Next, you need to create a virtual drive. Microsoft says that 16GB is the minimum space needed for the 32-bit version, but 20GB is required for the 64-bit version. I decided on a 60GB virtual drive on my desktop, but feel free to make it as large as you need. Just be sure that you have enough space on your actual hard drive to handle the size of your virtual drive.
4. Locate the Windows 10 ISO
Now, go into the settings for this virtual machine, and navigate to the "Storage" tab. Click the disc icon with a green plus next to "Controller: SATA." Click "Choose disk," and then locate the Windows 10 ISO you downloaded earlier.
5. Launch the installer
With all of that setup finished, press the "Start" button in VirtualBox, and begin the Windows 10 installation process. Follow the instructions on the screen, and you're well on your way.
6. Install VirtualBox guest additions
Once you're at the Windows 10 desktop, you'll need to install all of the proper drivers for VirtualBox. In the VirtualBox UI, select "Devices," then select "Insert Guest Additions CD image." Navigate to that disc image in Windows Explorer, and run the installer. Once you've gone through the entire process, you'll need to reboot the VM.
