No other {{project_name_gateway_long}} changes are required in this case! '''Set up a {{project_name_customworkstation_long}}''' There are currently two ways to set up a {{project_name_customworkstation_long}}. Either: * '''A)''' Manually create a VirtualBox VM (established, '''old''' method), or * '''B)''' Download and import a {{project_name_customworkstation_long}} ('''stable''' method).
'''A)''' Users who want to manually create a VirtualBox VM using the established and '''old''' method, click on Expand on the right.
'''1. Create a VirtualBox VM''' Follow these steps in order: VirtualBox → Machine → New → Next → Enter Name (for example, {{Code2|myVM}}) → Enter Operating System and Version → Next → Define RAM → Next → Create a new HDD (or not) → Next → Disk format doesn't matter (VDI works well) → Next → Set dynamically or fixed size preference → Next → Set HDD size and location preference → Next → Create '''2. Switch VirtualBox VM Settings''' Follow these steps in order: * Choose the newly created VM (for example, {{Code2|myVM}}) → Settings → System → Motherboard → Hardware Clock in UTC * System → Motherboard → Pointing Device → PS/2 Mouse (required to disable the USB controller) * System → Processor → Enable PAE/NX (if available) * Network → Adapter 1 → Attached to Internal Network (important!) * Network → Adapter 1 → Name (of Internal Network) (important!): {{Code|{{project_name_short}}}} Note: It is '''W'''honix, not whonix. Capital '''W''' case sensitivity matters. * USB → Uncheck Enable USB controller * → OK ----
'''B)''' Users who want to download and import a {{project_name_customworkstation_long}} template using the '''stable''' method, click on Expand on the right.
This method's advantage is that there is need to manually create a new VM. The process is greatly simplified; the {{project_name_customworkstation_long}} only needs to be downloaded and imported. This approach has several benefits: it is easier, all security settings are set for the VM, and users don't have to remember and apply necessary settings. The latest {{project_name_customworkstation_long}} Version is: {{Whonix-Custom-Workstation-Version}} Although the version number for {{project_name_gateway_long}} and {{project_name_long}}-Default / Download-Version might be far higher than the {{project_name_customworkstation_long}} version, this is normal. A newer {{project_name_customworkstation_long}} only needs to be redistributed if the settings for the VM have changed. For example, these have not changed between Whonix 9 and Whonix 13. Therefore, {{project_name_customworkstation_long}} version {{Whonix-Custom-Workstation-Version}} is recent enough to function, because it comes with an empty virtual hard drive (meaning software cannot be outdated). '''1. Download the {{project_name_customworkstation_long}}''' Download the following image. {{#widget:Download_Button |text=Download {{project_name_customworkstation_long}} (FREE!) |url=https://download.{{project_clearnet}}/ova/{{Whonix-Custom-Workstation-Version}}/{{project_name_short}}-CUSTOM-{{Whonix-Custom-Workstation-Version}}.ova |os=windows|os=osx|os=linux }} '''2. Download the OpenPGP Signature''' Download the corresponding OpenPGP signature. {{#widget:Download_Button |text=Download {{project_name_customworkstation_long}} OpenPGP signature (FREE!) |url=https://download.{{project_clearnet}}/ova/{{Whonix-Custom-Workstation-Version}}/{{project_name_short}}-CUSTOM-{{Whonix-Custom-Workstation-Version}}.ova.asc |os=windows|os=osx|os=linux }} '''3. Verify the Whonix Image''' Follow these steps to [[Verify the virtual machine images|verify]] the Whonix image. '''4. Import and Rename the Virtual Machine''' After importing the image, rename the virtual machine to something else. It is not strictly necessary to rename the VM at this point, but this prevents potential naming conflicts if another {{project_name_customworkstation_long}} is imported later on. VirtualBox → Right-click on VM → Settings → Name (for example: {{Code2|myVM}}) If this method was used, please report how well it worked in the Whonix forum.
