Trunktracker,
OP25 is easier than ever to install with the install.sh script that come prepackaged.
However, I am not aware of any step-by-step guides to build a viable system on a VM
platform. That said, I have had great success with op25 on Ubuntu on a VM using Oracle
VirtualBox, but I have no personal experience with VMware Workstation Player. Non the
less, I would imagine the process is similar and am willing to assist if you’d like to
communicate via PM or phone.
Some prerequisite steps are to insure that your VMware host is 64 bit, and that you have
enabled hardware virtualization in your PC’s BIOS setup menu. You may choose any of the
more recent flavors of Ubuntu but I would recommend 18.04.1 LTS

Subject: [op25-dev] Beginner's Guide To Setting Up OP25 From Scratch
Is there any kind of a current step-by-step beginner's guide to setup OP25 from
Scratch? Especially for using it on Windows. For example, I have VMware Workstation 12
Player version 12.5.2 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. Is there a certain version
of Ubuntu that we have to use? The link to download it
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop has a version called Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and
another version called Ubuntu 18.10. How do we know which one to use and what are the
command prompt scripts that we should type to install OP25? Thanks.
