Anaconda Enterprise Trial¶
Before you begin¶
NOTE: If you have previously downloaded the trial, the previous version must be completely removed from your system before following these instructions. If you are unsure, we recommend setting up a separate administrator account on your computer for the trial.
- Skillset: Be comfortable using terminal and virtual machines (VMs)
- Get Trial: Sign up for the free trial and receive the welcome email with licenses in your email box.
- System: Linux (CentOS or RedHat recommended), OS X or Windows.
- Requirements: 30GB disk space free, 4GB RAM minimum (8GB recommended), Ethernet connection recommended.
- Virtual Machine: Have Vagrant and Virtualbox installed. Download and install Vagrant as an administrator, then if you downloaded in terminal, close and re-open your terminal window. Existing Vagrant users must update to latest version. Then download and install Virtualbox.
- Windows Users: Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable
Package (x86) and modify
the properties on
%SYSTEM_ROOT%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
(such asC:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
) to make it user-writeable. Vagrant shows errors when installed into a path with spaces, such asC:\Users\Jane Smith\
, so make a new directory with a path name without spaces such asC:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\home
and move the vagrant.d directory from your user directory to the new directory. Open a terminal window and set the VAGRANT_HOME environment variable to the new directorysetx VAGRANT_HOME C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\home
. Close and re-open the terminal window.
Install the trial¶
TIP: The installed file is 6GB, so a wired connection is recommended.
- Contact the team for a link to the most recent AE Trial file, make a directory in your home directory called “vmtrial”, and move the file “Vagrantfile” into the new “vmtrial” directory.
- Install the trial as administrator. Open your terminal window, change
from your home directory to “vmtrial”
cd vmtrial
, then entervagrant up --provider virtualbox
. If you are prompted to run the command again, entervagrant up --provider virtualbox
again.

Uninstall the trial¶
After 60 days, remove the free trial. This command removes the Anaconda Enterprise Trial, not Vagrant.
NOTE: Do not use this command if you have any other Vagrant VM’s.
In your terminal window, type vagrant destroy
. When asked “are you sure you
want to destroy the default VM?” answer “y” for “yes”. If prompted to enter a
password, enter your computer’s password.
