====== OHDSI-In-A-Box ======

OHDSI-In-A-Box is a virtual machine containing the full OHDSI Technology Stack as well as several of the OHDSI tools. It was constructed as a resource to supplement tutorials held during the 2016 OHDSI Symposium. It also functions as a learning aid and sandbox environment for those who want hands-on experience with OHDSI.

==== Troubleshooting Issues ====

=== When creating the virtual machine only 32-bit options are shown ===

A 64-bit operating system is required. If you have a 64-bit operating system and still have this issue, virtualization may need to be enabled on your machine. (Google “Enable Virtualization on X” and replace X with the model of your computer.)
