Hi All, Thanks a lot for your advices and support. I have downloaded Oracle VirtualBox,i will try it. As i am a new user to linux commands , I have a question concerning oracle virtualbox: I have built gem5.opt on the mac os,so If i succeeded to use VirtualBox to install the disk image , Does this mean that i should also use it for repeating all the building steps for gem5 and then use the VirtualBox for running gem5 ?
Or i can using mac os for running gem5 with Full system after creating the disk image using the VirtualBox ! Thank you in advance for your help.
