Virtual machine requirements

You can install TrustEdge on a virtual machine using a Linux image to explore its capabilities without physical IoT hardware.

  • macOS (ARM64) prerequisites
    1. Install a macOS-compatible virtual machine. For example, UTM, VMware, or Parallels.
    2. Install Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64 operating system on the virtual machine.
      For details on installing the virtual machine, refer to the selected virtual machine’s documentation.
  • Windows 11 (x64) prerequisites:
    1. Open PowerShell and install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) using Ubuntu 22.04 x64.
      wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04
    See Microsoft WSL documentation for details on installing and configuring WSL.
