  1. Click the Console tab. You might see a message saying that the Remote Console Plug-in is not installed. If you see this message then click Install plug-in and follow the directions before continuing. (Note: you may be asked to restart your computer during this process.)
  2. When the plugin is installed, you should see a large “play” button in the center of the console. Click on the play button to start the VM.
