Define VBOXMANAGE_CMD

If you install VirtualBox in a non-default location, define the VBOXMANAGE_CMD property. This property lets DevTest find the vboxmanage tool, so your Genymotion simulators function efficiently.

You can define this property in three ways:

• Define an environment variable in Windows
• Edit the lisa.properties file (to affect all projects)
• Add a property to the project property file in the Properties Editor (to affect a single project)

Define an Environment Variable in Windows

In the System Properties for your machine, open the Environment Variables dialog and add the following command:

Windows

VBOXMANAGE_CMD=c:\program files\oracle\virtualbox\vboxmanage.exe

Mac

export VBOXMANAGE_CMD=/usr/bin/vboxmanage

Edit the LISA Property File

Editing the lisa.properties file affects all of the projects that are defined in DevTest Workstation.

Follow these steps:

1. Select System, Edit LISA Properties from the main menu.
2. To define the VBOXMANAGE_CMD in the system file, add the following text:

   VBOXMANAGE_CMD=c:\program files\oracle\virtualbox\vboxmanage.exe
   

3. Save the file.

Add a Property to the Project Property File

Adding a property to the property file in the Properties Editor affects only that project.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Project panel, double-click your project in the Configs folder.

   The Properties Editor opens.

2. To add a row, click Add at the bottom of the Properties Editor.
3. In the Key field, type:

   VBOXMANAGE_CMD
   

4. In the Value field, type:

   c:\program files\oracle\virtualbox\vboxmanage.exe
   

5. From the main toolbar, click Save.
