Now the only thing I would ask you to install is the vmplayer: http://www.vmware.com/products/player/playerpro-evaluation.html You have a linux and windows/virus versions there. On linux: chmod +x VMware-Player-12.5.1-4542065.x86_64.bundl sudo ./VMware-Player-12.5.1-4542065.x86_64.bundle on windows/virus you click ok couple of times and install. now if you feel skilled enough you can download and try to run the virtual machine on that system: http://www.physik.uzh.ch/data/mchrzasz/Teaching/MC2016/VM_MC2016.zip the user name is student and password as well is: student.
