It's important to note that our virtual machine image has not been updated to the Swarm in Blocks 2.0 version yet. With that being said, all the features will be limited to the blockly simulation.

For the use o the virtual machine we recommend at least 16gb of memory on your PC.

Step 1: You need to install the VMWare via this . Its better to install versions above VMware 14.

Step 2: After installing VMWare you should download the Virtual machine from this google drive:

Step 3: The next step you should open VMWare and click on Open a Virtual Machine

Step 4: When you click on Open a Virtual Machine it will pop up your download files folder, you need to choose the VM file that you download:

Step 5: After choosing your file it will show a page where you can name your Virtual Machine, name it the way you like it

Step 6: Sometimes the file will pop an error, you need just to click retry that it will run smoothly

Step 7: Click on Edit virtual machine settings

Step 8: After installing the virtual machine will ask how much ram it should use, we recommend using 6gb for the virtual machine and 1 or 2 gb of memory for the graphics.
