Thane clicks Next
The next screen will provide you with the summary of the import:
Click on Import
An import progress window will pop up:
After successful import, you will see the new VM in VirtualBox Manager
You can modify the Settings of this VM (especially the network card) by clicking on the Settings button:

This will show you your:
- IP address
- Subnet Mask
- Gateway
Based on this information assign an IP address for your VM.
Please note that if you have more devices connected to the network ensure that the IP address that you will like to use is not in conflict with other systems (don’t use this same IP).
To change the IP address of the Atavism Development VM go to:
On Ubuntu do:
nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml
Window witch network configuration will open:
In this config file assign an IP address from your LAN subnet and change the gateway address to match your firewall.
After you amend the file to save it by pressing F2 – on the bottom of the screen you will see dialogue (if you are happy with the changes press Y):
After you press Y system will ask where to save the file/filename:
Just press ENTER
Now to activate this config just run the command: netplan apply
You can check if the provided IP is active by running the command: hostname -I (this will display the active IP address).
You can also run a ping test from this VM to the network / Internet and from the local PC to this new server.
On CentOS do:
nano /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
Window witch network configuration will open:
In this config file assign an IP address from your LAN subnet and change the gateway address to match your firewall.
After you amend the file to save it by pressing F2 – on the bottom of the screen you will see dialogue (if you are happy with the changes press Y):

This should give you output similes to this:
You can check if the provided IP is active by running the command: hostname -I (this will display the active IP address).
You can also run the ping test from this VM to the network / Internet and from the local PC to this new server.
Uploading Atavism Server software to VM
After you change network card settings you can upload Atavism_Server.zip to this VM.
One of the tools that you can use is WinSCP.
You can download it from the WinSCP website: https://winscp.net/eng/download.php
After you download and install this program you Can connect to the server using it.
After you open it WinSCP it will ask for connection details:
After configuring this connection (IP Address minimum) you can save these settings or just press Login.
When you press Login you will be prompted for a username and for a password:
After you log in you should upload atavism_server_xxxx.zip into the default directory /root/:
Select the file for upload and press F5.
In the next step, Virtual Machine within 2 minutes should unpack that package and after that, you should open your browser and try to enter the address as follows: http://<YourServerIPAddress>/atavism/installation/install.php
where <YourServerIPAddress> is the IP that you set up in the previous step for the server.
