Installing/VMWareFusion

Installing in VMWare Fusion Pro

Note: These instructions were written for the current 3.0 nightly builds, and Fusion Pro 10. Existing 2.1 builds (and future 3.0 production builds) should work with Fusion Pro 8 with similar configuration changes for the hard drive.

The first step is to download the Broadwell installation ISO from the GalliumOS nightly release site.

Configure VMWare Machine

Basic Setup

• Select the option to make a new VM from the toolbar
• Choose the default Install from disc or image and click Continue
• Click the Use another disc or disc image... button and locate the ISO you have downloaded
• Make sure the ISO you imported is selected, and click Continue
• Scroll down in the right pane of the Operating System dialog and choose Other Linux 4.x or later kernel 64-bit
• Change the boot firmware to UEFI and click Continue

Note: You can use Legacy BIOS here, but using UEFI will generally lead to a better experience and will allow for screen resizing without having to manually install VMWare Tools
