Goal
Use the section below to describe the goal of the tutorial. You might want to offer prerequisites that must be met before the user begins the task, such as previous tutorials, configuration or product setting requirements.
By following these instructions, you'll have an instance of MindTouch running on a VMware virtualized instance on a machine of your choice.
Use each step section to describe the instructions needed to achieve the goal.
Install VMware Player
The MindTouch VMware virtual image is a complete packaging of everything necessary to run MindTouch on any machine. In order to execute this virtual image, you will need to install the completely free VMware player on your machine.
Begin by downloading VMware player (~100 MB) and installing it on your target machine. You can follow our step-by-step tutorial for installing VMware player.
Note: VMware Player can't run as a service on a computer; if you log off of your computer or shut down VMware Player, your MindTouch install will not be available. If you are looking for a VMware platform to host your MindTouch install, we recommend VMware Server or VMware ESX. Also the default network setting for the MindTouch virtual machine is NAT. If you are deploying MindTouch in a production environment you will need to change the Network setting to Bridged.
1 Download the MindTouch VMware virtual image from Sourceforge.
2 Extract MindTouch VMware Appliance
Once you have downloaded the MindTouch VMware virtual image, extract it using an unzipping tool on your computer. If you are running on Windows then you can right click on the file and select Extract All.
3 Launch virtual environment for MindTouch
Open the folder that was extracted and double-click on the MindTouch VMware virtual machine configuration file:
4 This will then launch VMware Player and load MindTouch.
(You must have VMware player installed in order to run this file). Note that the first time you load VMware Player, it will ask you to accept their license terms.
5 When MindTouch is finished loading, you will receive a screen which will have an IP address on it.
Enter the IP address into your browser; you will be taken to the configuration screens shown below.
NOTE: You will not be able to highlight the IP address. If you click on the VMware Player screen and your mouse disappears, push CTRL and ALT at the same time and your mouse will be released.
These steps have successfully set-up the whole environment for which MindTouch to be installed in. Let's move onto steps for installing a MindTouch instance just for you!
Installing MindTouch
When you load the IP address for the MindTouch install it will present you with the following web installer where you can click INSTALL next to the MindTouch product you want to install. In this documentation we will be selecting the MindTouch 2010 installation.
Clicking INSTALL next to MindTouch 2010 will then present you with the following screen where you need to fill out the highlighted fields. Once you have filled out the form then click NEXT at the bottom of the screen.
You will now see the following page where you can fill out details about your install as follows. Once you have made the appropriate selections please select NEXT to proceed.
This will then present you with an overview of your configuration. If anything needs to be changed you can click Edit next to the section. Otherwise continue by clicking INSTALL MINDTOUCH.
This will then take you to the following page which confirms that a license has been sent to you in an email. When you receive the email, save the .xml file that is attached to a location on your computer that you can easily access for the next step. Click CONTINUE TO MINDTOUCH to then apply your license to your installation.
This will then bring you to your Product Activation page in the Control panel where you will select Choose File to upload the xml license file that was emailed you.
Then click Activate License which will then show you the following screen:
You have now successfully installed MindTouch. Continue with our Setup and Configuration guide to get your MindTouch install ready for production.
What's Next
Use the section below to describe additional considerations that were omitted for brevity and to guide the reader to further tutorials.
By default the MindTouch Virtual Machine Appliance ships in NAT mode. This restricts access to the virtual machine to only the computer that it is hosted on. If you need to open the virtual machine to be accessed by other computers on your network then you will need to change it to Bridge Mode. Follow our tutorial to change it to Bridge mode.
