# Initial setup

Download the UX Designer **LinX Software Suite DevEnv v6.0**, It can be found at [UX Designer | CrossControl](https://crosscontrol.com/software-solutions/linx-software-suite/ux-designer/)
Scroll down to

    DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT DOWLOAD → DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT → UX DESIGNER V6.0

And click on **LinX Software Suite DevEnv v6.0** to download the file.

As the **LinX Software Suite DevEnv v6.0.0.ova** is an Open Virtualization Format Archive you don't need to create a new Virtual Machine in VirtualBox. Instead, from the **File** menu, choose **Import appliance** and import the downloaded file and begin the initial setup of the UX Designer.

CrossControl provides the Virtual Machine environment, but you need to configure the machine according to the device specifications.

The first window, Import Virtual Appliance, will open, here users can change some settings. It is also possible to change settings after importing and setting up the Virtual Machine.

Wait for the VirtualBox to import the virtual disk image of the environment

When completed, the Virtual Machine will be added to the VirtualBox. Before launching the VM
users can make some changes in the **Settings**.

![Virtual Box Settings](/content/images/vbox_settings.png)

For example, the name of the VM can be changed.

In the **System** tab users can select the amount of memory to assign to the virtual machine. It is
best not to use more than the suggested limit (green indicator) so as not to impede performance.

In the **Processor** tab users can set the numbers of processors to assign. More CPU resources
assigned to the VM will speed up the compiling process

In **Shared Folders** tab users can assign the VM a share folder from the host machine in order to
transfer files between your PC and the VM.

Check the following two boxes "Auto-mount" and "Make Permanent" so that the share folder is automatically accessible after the VM has started. If not checked the following commands needs to be ran after each start.

    mkdir /home/ccs/host
    mount -t vboxsf share /home/ccs/host

>![Note](/content/images/note.png) If you cannot access the shared folder, you need to add the "ccs" user to the group "vboxsf"

    sudo usermod -a -G vboxsf "$USER"

With user settings configured click **Start** to launch the VM.

Default user credentials:

- user - **ccs**
- password - **default**

Qt Creator is placed on the desktop of the VM by default. As well as links to Data Engine and Fieldbus Access runtimes.
