Installation
You can install Virtualize as a standalone Eclipse application or as an Eclipse p2 Update. Refer to Eclipse p2 Update Site Installation for instruction on installing into your own Eclipse IDE.
- If you haven’t already done so, copy the installation file to the directory where you would like to install Virtualize.
- Change directories to the directory where you are going to install Virtualize.
- Set "execute" permissions on the installer.
chmod +x parasoft_virtualize_<VERSION>_linux_*.shchmod +x parasoft_virtualize_<VERSION>_macosx_*.sh
- Execute the installer, then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
./parasoft_virtualize_<VERSION>_linux_*.sh./parasoft_virtualize_<VERSION>_macosx_*.sh
A directory under parasoft/virtualize/<VERSION> (Linux) or parasoft/virtualize/<VERSION>/Parasoft Virtualize.app/Contents/Eclipse (Mac) will be created. We refer to this location as <VIRTUALIZE_INSTALL_DIR> throughout this user guide. The Virtualize executable, command line interface, examples, manuals, and so on are available within this directory.
