V5:Installing ChipWhisperer/Using VBox Virtual Machine

If this is your first time using the ChipWhisperer toolchain, the easiest way to start is to use a virtual machine with everything already set up for you. Note that Linux users may find it easier to do a manual install.

These instructions are for the newest version of CW5 (v5.0.1+) and will not work with CW5's initial alpha release (v5.0.0). Virtualbox 6 is assumed here, but these instructions should work for Virtualbox 5 as well, provided the correct extension pack is installed.

1. Install VirtualBox. This program is freely available on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
2. Install the VirtualBox Extension Pack. This is necessary for the VM to interact with the ChipWhisperer hardware
3. Download a ChipWhisperer virtual machine image release or build it yourself using Vagrant.
4. Unzip the VirtualBox image, go to Machine>Add in VirtualBox and select the VM that was unzipped
5. Verify that the VM boots

Next, we'll need to update some passwords for the VM. Boot the virtual machine then:

1. Log in (user: vagrant pass: vagrant). You will be asked to update your password. Do so (make sure to record this password).
2. Setup a new password for Jupyter. This can be done by typing jupyter notebook password, then entering and verifying your new password. Note that Jupyter will not start until this is done. This password will be needed to log into Jupyter, so make sure you record it as well.
3. Reboot the VM.
4. Once the VM is booted, you can connect to Jupyter via localhost:8888 (Firefox/Chrome ONLY). You will be asked for the password you set via jupyter notebook password

You shouldn't need to log in to the VM again to run Jupyter (which provides the interface) as it should start automatically, but make sure you still record the password you set for the vagrant account, as you will need to log in to update ChipWhisperer.
