Yes, I just tried it. The first screen on the downloaded installer says it will download & install Virtualbox, and run Virtualbox + Arc upon system startup.

- grun 13y agoVirtualBox is included in the Arc installer. It doesn't have to be downloaded or installed separately.
- slacka 13y agoCongratulations! This is a great idea. If I needed port a network and/or performance critical Linux app to the web, Arc offers some unique advantages. However there is some serious competition from Java apps, jslinux, Emscripten w/ asm.js, and (P)NaCl. I don't have a Mac, so I haven't tried out your demo yet, but ideally you should make this work like genymotion, using the existing VirualBox install in headless mode. This would also make a much quicker install option for existing vbox users. Hopefully you can avoid the mistake YouWave made of interfering with an existing vbox installs.
- BWStearns 13y agoWhere did you find the file to try it? I only saw the blogpost.
- jetti 13y agoThere was an example site that was linked in the blog post: http://peggo.co/ http://peggo.co/ It will only work with OS X 10.7+ though.
- BWStearns 13y agoOh ok, that's why it worked for me then. I thought he was making the beta of Arc available already. It looks like it might solve a problem with an in-house project I've been working on at work recently.
