4: Prepare Your Windows Dev Machine For
Legato Development
In this chapter, you will prepare your dev machine for Legato application development by installing Oracle
VirtualBox (a ’hypervisor’ (virtual machine monitor)) and a custom pre-configured virtual machine (VM) image.
4.1 Prepare Your Computer
After preparing your mangOH Red in
Set Up Your mangOH Red Hardware on page 9
, including installing drivers
on your computer and connecting the mangOH Red, you can prepare your computer for Legato development.
Your computer requires a virtual machine image configured with the Legato development environment. The
following sections describe how to get and install the virtual machine.
4.1.1 Install Oracle VirtualBox
The VM image provided for mangOH Red is built for use with Oracle VirtualBox. If you do not have Oracle
VirtualBox installed on your computer yet:
1.
Go to
to download the VirtualBox binary for Windows hosts.
2.
Install VirtualBox by running the downloaded file.
VirtualBox opens automatically when it finishes installing.
4.1.2 Download Legato Application Development Image
The guest OS on the VM image provided for mangOH Red is 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 16.04, pre-loaded with the
Legato toolchain (tools for building Legato applications), and files for building the mangOH Red platform.
Important:
To install and use the development environment, your dev machine must meet the requirements in
Note:
The Legato development environment runs in a Legato Virtual Machine on your Windows
computer. Compared to running natively on a Linux computer, its performance is decreased (typically) due
to the overhead of running the virtual machine, but functionality is the same on both computer types.
Note:
When you install VirtualBox, default settings will work, but you can modify them if you prefer (see
for details.)
Note:
VirtualBox appears in your Start menu as “Oracle VM VirtualBox”.
