# Download a ChipWhisperer virtual machine image release. The current latest release with a VM image is [https://github.com/newaetech/chipwhisperer/releases/tag/0.11RC1 v0.11RC1].
# Unzip the VMWare image and open the file <code>ChipWhisperer Lubuntu 32-bit.vmdk</code> in VMWare Player.
Once you've opened this, you may want the latest version of the ChipWhisperer software - the version packaged with the VM image could be quite old. To do this, open LXTerminal in Ubuntu and run the following commands:
<pre>
cd chipwhisperer
git pull
</pre>
If you ever want to switch versions, you can run
<pre>
git checkout <release number>
</pre>
For example, <code>git checkout 0.11RC</code> will move back to the 0.11 release. <code>git checkout master</code> will always give you the latest software.
There's an old [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrtsWAJa0m4&hd=1 Youtube tutorial] of this setup available online.
