        <source>#### Overview

Zabbix appliance provides a way to instantly deploy Zabbix server and frontend, instead of setting them up manually or reusing an existing server for Zabbix.

The appliance is based on AlmaLinux 8 (x86\_64) and contains a pre-configured Zabbix server running on MySQL and frontend running on Nginx web server.

::: noteimportant

This appliance is designed for evaluating Zabbix.

Using it in serious production environments is discouraged.

        <source>#### Quick start</source>

      </trans-unit>

      <trans-unit id="b3fd5276" xml:space="preserve">

        <source>##### Pre-requisites

1. Make sure the host machine has sufficient resources to meet the virtual machine's system requirements:

-   *RAM*: 4 GB

-   *Disk space*: at least 8 GB should be allocated for the virtual

    machine

-   *CPU*: 2 cores minimum

2. If not yet installed, install the virtualization software for booting the appliance image (for example, [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org)).

3. [Download](https://www.zabbix.com/download_appliance) the appliance in the format supported by your virtualization software.

4. Check network settings to ensure that DHCP is enabled on the host machine. </source>

        <source>##### Installation

1. Boot the appliance virtual machine from the downloaded image.

2. Configure virtual machine network settings to allow access from a browser on the host machine.

This can be achieved by enabling *Bridged mode*.

3. Log in to the virtual machine using default system [credentials](#system).

4. To retrieve the IP address, run the following command on the virtual machine:

```

ip addr show

```

5. Open a browser on the host machine and point it to the IP address the appliance has received over DHCP.

6. Log in to Zabbix using default [credentials](#zabbix-frontend) and start monitoring. </source>
