 Step 01

Download the .ova file and deploy on virtualization platforms such as VirtualBox, VMWare,...

Note

• You must enable Virtualization to run Qemu Node.  
• You have to make sure Virtualization is enabled in your BIOS
• If Virtualization is not enabled you will meet this warning on the console screen: WARNING: neither Intel VT-x or AMD-V found

Step 02: Register and Login

• Access to your box by a browser (through IP address in your PNETLab box - in my case, the IP address is: 192.168.17.135)
• Login by default account: root/pnet then complete the initial setup process. If you don't have any idea about any field just leave it default
• After finish the initial setup, If you want to use Online Mode you need to check the connection to internet.

• To check internet connection run commands: ping pnetlab.com; ping user.pnetlab.com, ping uploader.pnetlab.com, ping docker.io
• In case you can not ping to internet, please try:
  • Reset network adapter of virtualization platform (Vmware: Edit > Virtual network Editor > Restore Default)
  • Disable then enable virtual network card on your window (Vmware: vmnet 1 and vmnet 8)

Use only one virtualization platform (Vmware: uninstall virtualbox or hyper-v)
