I want to test out Archivematica on my MacBook if it's possible. Should I run a Linux virtual machine via VirtualBox or Docker? I'm looking for a tutorial if any are out there.
Cheers!

I'm guessing that the Archivematica sandbox (http://sandbox.archivematica.org/administration/accounts/login/) won't work for the kind of testing you want to do, right? If you want to install it, I believe this tutorial on the archivematica wiki covers what you want: https://wiki.archivematica.org/Virtual_appliance_instructions Good luck!
