Intake24

Appearance

Development virtual machine ​

The Intake24 development virtual machine provides pre-installed dependencies such as the PostgreSQL DBMS and Redis server, a blank system database and a (relatively) recent snapshot of the food database.

This VM is intended to make getting started with Intake24 development easier, however it is not required to set up a working development environment and all dependencies can be installed manually if preferred.

WARNING

Note that the VM currently does not include the portion size image database. These files will be added later.

Prerequisites ​

The VM image has been produced using Oracle VirtualBox v6.0. The VM image format is OVA 2.0 and can technically be used with most VM software, however it has only been tested using VirtualBox and we therefore recommend using VirtualBox.

  1. In the main menu of VirtualBox click File > Import Appliance.

  1. Select the VM image file downloaded from the URL above.

  2. Change the name of the VM if you like, but keep the rest of the settings as they are.
