Then, a computer called 'VBOXSVR' will appear.

You may need to select 'Turn on network and file sharing' as an administrator.Open a file explorer window and navigate to the 'Network' location.Click the icon for 'Add new shared folder', and select the file path to a folder you'd like to share.Click Settings and then the 'Shared Folders' tab.Make sure your virtual machine is in the 'powered off' mode, and not the 'saved state' mode. When the 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager' window appears, select your virtual machine (so that it's highlighted in blue). If you have files on your regular OS that you'd like to access through VirtualBox, follow these steps to create a shared folder: With the image used, they should be automatically installed. NOTE: Make sure that Guest Additions are installed correctly on your VM. Follow the OpenBCI on Windows tutorial to properly connect your OBCI board on Windows.(If you selected a different distribution other than Win 7, see the respective manual in the Windows page.) For more detailed instructions/tutorials and troubleshooting see the Windows Manual.

Import the VM, go through all the configs and start it.

Because of this, I would advise that you configure your VM to have multiple cores and as much RAM as you deem reasonable. In fact, some will take up one entire core, if they can.

Some EEG processing software uses a lot of RAM (OpenViBE aquisition server for example).

This should start Virtual Box and set up your VM's configurations. (The OS that your computer runs natively).

Go to https: and download a Windows 7 virtual machine (I used IE8) image for your appropriate host on the 'Choose your OS' tab.

If you have a non-windows computer, you can still use this software through a Windows virtual machine on VirtualBox. Some of the software compatible with OpenBCI products requires a Windows operating system.
