I am a member of a team that consists of MSUD students. I have created an area on my Google drive that has the OpenMRS VM image that my team created and are using for OpenMRS development contributions. Within this link, there is also a user guide that I created. The link is [https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1rN7bSIhQTVSWuCmFzZJyz8MH5H-kzpZn](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1rN7bSIhQTVSWuCmFzZJyz8MH5H-kzpZn)

Please let me know if this is a viable solution for this issue.

Thank you,

It seems like a viable solution to me.

(If I were starting from scratch I’d probably want to create a script that would create the VM, so that it can more easily be updated for future OpenMRS versions and releases. And I’d consider a docker-based environment rather than a Vagrant one.)

So I think you should add a link to this on this wiki page [https://wiki.openmrs.org/x/poBE](https://wiki.openmrs.org/x/poBE) (and also claim the ticket).
