Below are the steps required to import the virtual machine into VirtualBox, included in most GNU/Linux distributions for the desktop and available for Windows and OSX.Start the Virtual Box graphical user interface and choose Import Applicance from the file menu:
This opens a new window asking for the location of the file to import. Locate the virtual machine image downloaded previously and click on Next.
VirtualBox now sets up the virtual machine, depending on your hardware this might take a few minutes.
Once the import has completed you can start the virtual machine by double clicking on it. To login, use the user name openstream and the password openstream.
After the login a quickstart guide with further instructions appears.
