71 The Virtual Appliance (VA) package allows you to run a JABAWS server installed on TurnKey Linux as a
72 virtual machine on your laptop or desktop computer. A <a href="man_servervm.html#whenvm">complete guide
73 to the JABAWS VA</a> is given in the manual, but for the impatient, a brief instructions are given below:
75 <p>If you work on Windows, Linux or Unix </p>
77 <li>download and install <a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/player">VMWare Player</a>.</li>
78 <li>Unpack the JABAWS virtual appliance and open it with VMware Player.</li>
80 <p>If you work on Mac do the same using <a href="http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html">VMware Fusion</a>, or for free alternative use a WAR JABAWS package. </p>
81 <div id="testing_jabaws">
83 <p>To check that your JABAWS virtual appliance is working visit the Services Status page available from the main JABAWS menu. For this enter the JABAWS URL for your new server into a web browser. This is shown once the appliance is booted up. </p>
84 <p>Alternatively you can use Jalview to complete the testing. </p>
85 <ol><li>Launch the desktop version of <a href="http://www.jalview.org/download.html">Jalview</a></li>
86 <li>Open the Jalview desktop's preferences panel (from the Tools->Preferences menu option), select the <span class="hightlight">Webservices</span> panel and press the <span class="hightlight">New Service URL</span> button.</li>
87 <li>Enter the JABAWS URL for your new server. This is shown once the appliance is booted up.</li>
