-If you would like to create your own virtual machine instead of downloading ours, then have a look at [[projects:virtualmachine:create_vm|these intructions]]. **NOTE:** These instructions are deprecated since the VM is now created with a script instead. It's kept as referens for now.
+The VM is built using Packer, so if you would like to build you're own just clone the [[https://github.com/bitcraze/bitcraze-vm|Bitcraze VM repo]] and follow the instructions in the README. For reference [[projects:virtualmachine:create_vm|here's the old install instructions]].
-**Please note:** All the instructions here (and on sub-pages) are always updated to match the latest available version of the VM and might not be valid for earlier versions.
+For information on how to install the VM please have a look at our [[https://www.bitcraze.io/getting-started-with-the-crazyflie-2-0/#inst-comp|Getting started guide]] and for instructions on how to develop for and flash the Crazyflie have a look at our [[https://www.bitcraze.io/getting-started-with-development/|Getting started with development guide]].

-====== VM info ======
-The [[https://github.com/bitcraze/bitcraze-vm|GitHub repository for the Bitcraze VM]] contains information on how the machine is set up and what comes pre-installed.
-====== HOW-TOs ======
-===== Update all the projects =====
-If you would like to update to the latest version from GitHub for all the projects you can either use the short-cut on the desktop (//Update all projects//) or run the following command:
-<code>
-/home/bitcraze/bin/update_all_projects.sh
-</code>
-===== Run the Crazyflie PC client =====
-If you would like to fly the Crazyflie then you should to the following:
-  * Insert the controller and Crazyradio and pass them to the VM. In VirtualBox this is done by right-clicking on the USB icon in the bottom left hand of the screen and selecting the Crazyradio and the controller
-  * Start the cfclient either by using the short-cut on the desktop (//Crazyflie PC client latest//) or by running the following command: <code>/home/bitcraze/projects/crazyflie-pc-client/cfclient</code>
-  * Press the //Connect// button and select the URI starting with //radio// and then press //Connect//
-**PLEASE NOTE:** If no controller is passed to VirtualBox the default controller will be the //VirtualBox USB Tablet//. This device together with the default controller mapping will set the thrust depending on where the mouse-pointer is on the screen. Make sure to check that there's no thrust **before** connecting to the Crazyflie.
-===== Build the Crazyflie firmware =====
-Running the following commands will build the firmware which can be flashed with the wireless bootloader. For updating the Crazyflie use the resulting //cflie.bin//.
-<code>
-cd ~/projects/crazyflie-firmware
-make CLOAD=1 DEBUG=0
-</code>
