Virtual Machines

A description on how to work with the virtual machine setup

1. Logging in

You will receive an e-mail with log in credentials for Vscode-server and Chromium. We recommend logging into both and keeping the tabs open.

2. Creating a directory for your project

When you open vscode-server you will be at the root directory by default. Navigate to Development and create a new directory here. This is how to create one.

root@dino360:~# cd ./Development/
root@dino360:~/Development# mkdir testproject
root@dino360:~/Development# cd testproject
root@dino360:~/Development/testproject# code .

then, click enter. The vs-code interface will refresh and you should see your project name at the top in the search bar like this:

Repeat these steps when creating a new project, so that you do not create multiple Bluetext projects in the same directory

3. View running services in Chromium

Once you have started running tools with Bluetext in Polytope, you can access them in Chromium. In the Polytope TUI, you will find a services section. Instead of clicking the adresses where they are being hosted, you must copy and paste them into chromium to view them.
