Cosmos supports running on any Intel x86 environment. However for debugging
|
|
and ease of use, many virtual and physical setups have integrated support. If
|
|
you do not see your environment, this does not mean Cosmos will not work. You
|
|
can simply fall back to ISO which should work with any environment.
|
|
|
|
### ISO
|
|
|
|
The ISO option creates an ISO image of the Cosmos output. This ISO file can be
|
|
mounted and booted by most virtualization technologies. In addition, a physical
|
|
optical disk can be burned and used to boot physical hardware.
|
|
|
|
### VMWare Workstation/Player
|
|
|
|
WMWare Workstation and VMWare Player are the preferred testing environments
|
|
for Cosmos. This is because they are stable, reliable, and easily controlled
|
|
by the Cosmos Visual Studio integration package. This allows for easy debugging and code execution control.
|
|
|
|
VMWare Workstation is not free, however VMWare Player is. VMWare Player for
|
|
the typical Cosmos developer provides more than enough functionality.
|

|
|
### VMWare Player

|
|
|

Not officially supported at this time, but can be done. Just use the ISO option above with debugging turned off.

Support is underway.

|
PXE
|
|
|
|
For PXE, no special software is required. Only an ethernet connection to your router. However, if you have a computer that does not support network booting, or if you must perform the action over WiFi, you may need to look at a PXE chainloader such as [gPXE](#).

Virtual PC

Not officially supported at this time, but can be done. Just use the ISO option above with debugging turned off.
