[Bigbang-dev] R: Windows installation

[Riccardo Nanni]

Hi there,

just a quick followup on my previous email - hope the info was useful. This is a link to the Oracle VirtualBox with instructions, in case the students need it: https://www.oracle.com/it/virtualization/technologies/vm/downloads/virtualbox-downloads.html?source=:ow:o:p:nav:mmddyyVirtualBoxHero_it&intcmp=:ow:o:p:nav:mmddyyVirtualBoxHero_it

And here are the instructions to download Ubuntu and install it on VirtualBox: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-run-ubuntu-desktop-on-a-virtual-machine-using-virtualbox#1-overview

I don't know if they are beginners or not. When I started this was all new to me (including the use of a virtual machine), so I'm sending pieces of info that may be redundant. From our previous conversations I understand they are more well-versed than I was, but I don't want to take things for granted.

Happy to meet them and see if I can help, if you think it's useful. Let me know!

Best,

Riccardo

Oggetto: Re: [Bigbang-dev] Windows installation

Hi!

Yes! I created a virtual box on my local computer with Oracle VirtualBox and installed Ubuntu there. Then used Bigbang as per instructions on github.

Alternatively, I use Google Colab (the simple way without Google Cloud). This option is less feasible though.

Unfortunately, now I'm not at home, I'm emailing from my phone. I'll reply in more detail in the next few days - sorry for the quick and undetailed response. But feel free to put me in touch with them if I can be helpful.

Best,

Riccardo

Subject: [Bigbang-dev] Windows installation

Hello,

I'm starting to get some feedback from the CLBE participants.

Two emails from Windows users requesting help with the installation.

Any ideas about how to help Windows folks? I can't replicate their situation locally.

Cheers,
Seb
