What we will learn here?
- We will learn to run softswitch on your local computer without real server. This is useful to try things fast and cheap
- What is Virtual Machine (VM)?
- We will download and install WinRAR utility for file extraction
- We will download and run MOR Softswitch version
- We will download and install VMWare player
- We will login to the MOR Softswitch and check it is working
NOTE: We will be using Windows operating system as our main system. Also Chrome (www.google.com/chrome) browser for this tutorial.
This guide will take around 10 minutes not counting the time necessary to download necessary files.
Basic computer skills are necessary.
What is Virtual Machine (VM)?
A virtual machine is a program that acts as a virtual computer. Virtual machines allow you to run other operating systems within your current operating system. It provides virtual hardware to “guest” operating systems. The “guest” operating systems will run as if they’re just another program on your computer. Virtual machines are ideal for testing out other operating systems.
We will be using it to test MOR Softswitch without installing it on the separate server.
WinRAR installation
We will need WinRAR utility to uncompress the file which we will download later. Let’s install it!
