## VirtualBox
We currently have a VirtualBox virtual machine image that is in beta. The image is based on Ubuntu 22.04 and has the KrakenSDR Direction Finding, KrakenSDR Passive Radar, and GNU Radio with KrakenSDR Source block preinstalled.
Download Here: DOWNLOAD COMING SOON
The image file is provided as an OVA file, so in VirtualBox go to File->Import to use it. Make sure you deselect the network interface upon install, and then before starting set networking to bridged mode, and select your own network interface.
Note that this uses the VirtualBox USB3.0 implementation as we have found that the USB2.0 implementation is too slow and drops samples. The USB3.0 implementation works well. In order to use the USB3.0 implementation you will need the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads installed to your VirtualBox.
We recommend allocating 8GB of RAM and 4 CPU cores to the system. We have tested the image on a 6th gen and 11th gen intel CPU. The 6th gen runs the DOA and PR software well, but the GNU Radio code struggles to keep up. The 11th gen is capable of handling everything.
## Docker
Third parties have created a Docker image that you can use for installing a ready to use image of the DOA software. Note that the Docker image will not work on Windows, due Docker not supporting USB passthrough from Windows to a Linux image. Also note that the Docker image is immutable, so any settings changes you save will not persist once the image is restarted.
