Ummm, why does it require apple-gcc? You just download the Mac installer and you're good to go. Nothing to compile, brew, yum or whatever. I have it running just fine on a generic OSX 10.10 box. CB On 12/12/14, 10:09 AM, deedra waters wrote: Yeah i figured that out after the fact can’t go the

If you Google "virtualbox command line" you'll find lots of stuff. This one for installing Ubuntu seemed good: http://www.howopensource.com/2011/06/how-to-use-virtualbox-in-terminal-commandline/ Once you have virtualbox installed you can always do a man VBoxManage to get all the possible comma

If i’m understanding you right, you can both setup and use the vm with virtual box and the command line. I’ll give it a try and see what happens. Any tutorials out there on how to set up and run the vm? deedra waters dee...@the-brannons.com > On Dec 11, 2014, at 2:32 PM, 'Chris Blouch' via M

Yes Ray. It works through voiceover and it's fine if all you need to do is enter a command or two; you can hear what you are typing. But in my opinion it's more of a pain if you want to know the output that is being presented and need to review that output and continue to make entries based on t

Most folks who don't want to deal with the CLI use VMWare but you pay for that convenience. I haven't used it with Linux but generally you just do VBoxManage startvm vmname. The VirtualBox installer is the standard Mac one so you won't have much trouble getting the app itself installed. As far
