#How to Prepare a Development Environment for Tatoeba Using a Pre-made Virtual Machine
* Grab the vm file [http://mirrors.bouah.net/pub/tatoeba/Tatovm/](http://mirrors.bouah.net/pub/tatoeba/Tatovm/)
* Untar the file:
On Windows: use 7zip [http://www.7-zip.org/]
On Linux: use file-roller or from the terminal, type:
tar -xvf vmfile
* Get and install VirtualBox [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads]
* Load the VM files in VirtualBox:
From the GUI: Machine -> Add then browse to the location of the .vbox file
From the command line: VBoxManage registervm /path/to/vm.vbox
* The default http port is 8080 and the default SSH port is 4242.
* To SSH into the machine, use the username **tatoeba** and password **tatoeba**:
ssh -p 4242 tatoeba@127.0.0.1
* Now you can see the website running in your browser by pointing it to the following address:
127.0.0.1:8080
* If you see warning messages introduced by "Strict standards:", you probably have a version of PHP that is newer than 5.3, the version recommended for Tatoeba development. You can verify this by executing "php -v". To downgrade to PHP 5.3, execute "su -" (with password **tatovm**) and then follow [these instructions](http://blog.wpkg.org/2013/06/20/downgrading-to-php-5-3-on-debian-wheezy-7-0/). Once the operation is complete, type "exit" to end superuser access.
* The MySQL user is **root** and password is **tatoeba** in case you need to do operations directly on the table or import more data.
* To hack the codebase in your favorite editor in the comfort of your host computer, there are 3 ways:
* Mount a drive over SSH:
* On Windows: download NetDrive [www.netdrive.net] and use the aforementioned credentials and port
* On Linux: install SSHFS and then mount it using:
sshfs tatoeba@127.0.0.1:4242 /path/to/mountpoint
* Mount a drive over WebDAV:
* On Windows: use NetDrive. The user and password are **tatoeba**, and the port is 8080.
* On Linux: use your favorite file manager with WebDAV support, or install cadaver and connect using the above credentials.
* Mount a shared file (slow and not recommended):
* Set up Guest additions [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/GuestAdditions]
* In the GUI select Devices -> Shared Folders -> Add
* Browse to the folder you want to share from your host and select it
* Select the Make permanent option
* Now mount the shared file on the guest system:
mount -t vboxfs /media/sharefoldername /path/to/mountpoint
* You can also install a graphical environment (GNOME or any other development environment) to work directly from the VM:
apt-get install task-gnome-desktop
* If you do not already have SVN (Subversion) access, send e-mail to team@tatoeba.org to request it.
* Before coding anything, make sure your codebase is up to date by executing the following commands:
cd ~/tatoeba-www
svn update
* After you have changed the code enough and want to update the main repository, do the following:
* Make sure your config files aren't being committed:
svn ignore config/*
* Double-check your changes:
svn diff
* Make sure you're still up to date, then commit your changes:
svn update
svn commit
