Installing ART on VMware Player

  1. Find a suitable machine. Your desktop will probably work, but consider:  ART will need to use about 512 MB of RAM,  and your desktop will run a bit slower whlie ART is testing restores.  Trying ART on your laptop might not work well.
  2. Install VMware Player.
  3. Download the Art virtual machine.
  4. Extract all downloaded files to a folder. 
  5. Open VMware Player, click the Open icon.
  6. Browse to the folder into which you extracted the downloaded files and select "art.vmx".
  7. VMware Player opens a console window.   Boot messages appear, then a "Getting Started with ART" page.   Follow the instructions there.
