Hypervisor Setup

Verify that your system has virtualization support enabled:

egrep -q 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo && echo yes || echo no

If the above command outputs "no":

• If you are running within a VM, your hypervisor does not allow nested virtualization. You will need to use the None (bare-metal) driver
• If you are running on a physical machine, ensure that your BIOS has hardware virtualization enabled
