KUSANAGI Editions
Introduction
Features
- KUSANAGI can be installed independent of the OS.
- The KUSANAGI environment can be easily built.
- You can build a KUSANAGI environment on your personal PC.
- You can focus on development and verification without worrying about the effect on other developers.
Points to Keep in Mind When Installing
- The CPU of the host PC may not initially support virtualization.
-> PCs made after 2008 should have basic features to support virtualization. However, since these features are often disabled in the BIOS, check the BIOS settings and see if the VT item is set to "Disable". In older PCs, the CPU may not support virtualization, in which case, please use a PC that does. - It may not work if the user name contains Japanese characters (Windows environment).
-> Create another user with an alphabetical name and try to do a "vagrant up". - The first time you do "vagrant up" it will take some time, because the Vagrant box file is downloaded via the Internet. If the communication bandwidth is narrow, there's a high possibility of failure during the process, so please consider using a line with greater bandwidth.
- Depending on the version of Mac and the level of enhanced security (High Sierra or higher), VirtualBox may be blocked by default settings.
Go to "System Preferences" and check the Security and Privacy settings. There should be a message saying that "Oracle America, Inc is blocked", in that case, please select "Allow".
