virtual machines (VM) can also alternatively, optionally be imported using the command line.

Introduction[edit]

Platform-specific. Most users:

  • All platforms: import Kicksecure VMs using VirtualBox's graphical user interface (GUI).
  • Linux: either use the above method or the Kicksecure Linux Installer.

Importing VMs using the command line is a standard VirtualBox feature using the vboxmanage command, which is unspecific to Kicksecure. This is useful for Advanced Users, in case of issues, and for automation.
