Why a virtual machine image

Let's imagine you have already tried the demo and liked it. What is the next step? You might want to try to install Cyclone3 yourself. For some users, it might be impossible if they use a Windows machine, a little complicated or they just simply don't have enough time. That is why we have prepared a virtual machine that you can download and install.

Cyclone3 framework uses several technologies: Perl code is the essence. There is a lot of stuff around it though - we have chosen Apache as our running web server, MySQL as the default database, cron as the task scheduling system and a lot of libraries which extend functionality, such as the ability, to handle different types of media and different video codecs.

Of course, anyone is free to customize their installation and extend it in ways that are most suitable for them. For users who are not advanced and for the sake of easy installation and an opportunity to try and mess with anything or if you just happen to be short of time, we have created a virtual machine image.
