Hello OpenStudio Gurus,

We're developing a project in Ruby that calls OpenStudio for simulation. We would need make sure it is executable across different operating systems. We had tested it in PC and Mac and next is Linux. Our plan is to test it in a virtual machine through Virtual Box in Mac.

I'm curious if anyone has tried this before, if so, could you give me some hints on the versions of Linux(supported by Virtual Box) that has been proved to support this task, or are there any tricky procedures need to be carefully attended?

I would appreciate your suggestions!

I met some problems while testing the ruby script:

1. EnergyPlus could not installed properly on Ubuntu 14.04: I followed the installation tutorial here and in the output of the installation it reports:

   Unpacking to directory /usr/local was successful. mv: cannot move ‘/usr/local/EnergyPlus-8-3-0/energyplus.1’ to ‘/usr/local/share/man/man1/’: Not a directory Symbolic links were successful.

2. I guess the first problem lead to the second one: as we need call the find_energyplus in our ruby script, it reports:

   [DEPRECATION] find_energyplus is deprecated. Please use OpenStudio::Runmanager::ConfigOptions instead.

Does anyone met the same problems while install EnergyPlus in Ubuntu 14.04?
