Void is an open-source software that allows users to run virtual payphones on their computers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Void from the repository https://github.com/AlphaNecron/Void on a macOS machine.
Before installing Void, make sure you have the following installed on your macOS machine:
To download Void, open the Terminal application on your macOS machine and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/AlphaNecron/Void.git
This will create a directory called "Void" in your current working directory.
Next, we need to install the dependencies required to run Void. To do this, run the following command in the Terminal:
brew install qemu nasm
This will install QEMU (a processor emulator) and NASM (an assembler for x86-based computer architectures) on your machine.
Now we will create a virtual machine to run Void. To do this, open VirtualBox and click on the "New" button in the top-left corner.
In the "Create Virtual Machine" window, enter a name for your virtual machine (e.g. "Void").
Select "Linux" as the type and "Other Linux (64-bit)" as the version.
Click "Next" and select how much memory (RAM) you would like to allocate to the virtual machine.
Click "Create" to create the virtual machine.
Select your newly created machine on the left side of the VirtualBox window, and click the "Settings" button.
In the "Settings" window, click on the "Storage" tab, then click the "+" button next to "Controller: IDE".
Select "Add Hard Disk" and click "Create".
In the "Create Virtual Hard Disk" window, select "VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image)" and click "Next".
Select "Dynamic allocation" and click "Next".
Enter a name for the virtual hard drive and choose the size you would like to allocate to it.
Click "Create" to create the virtual hard drive.
Next, click on the "Network" tab and select "Bridged Adapter" under "Attached to".
Click "OK" to save your changes.
In the Terminal, navigate to the "Void" directory that you downloaded in Step 1 using the following command:
cd /path/to/Void
Next, run the following command to install Void:
./build-iso.sh
This will create an ISO file called "void-x86_64-disc.iso" in the "Void" directory.
In VirtualBox, select your virtual machine and click the "Start" button to power it on.
Once the virtual machine has booted up, select "Install Void" from the menu.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install Void on your virtual machine.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Void on your macOS machine. You can now use it to run virtual payphones on your computer.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
