Slide 9	Note: There might be chances that genymotion doesn’t work with the given virtual boxes. In such cases, you will have to manually install virtual box on your computer. For information on how to do so, visit- https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads To know the architecture of your computer, simply type uname -i in the terminal. Download the virtual box suitable for your computer’s architecture. Right-click on the downloaded .deb file. Select Open with Ubuntu Software Center and then select install to install the virtual box.
Point to install.sh file	After installation, just run ./install.sh command in the terminal to start ABT.
Slide 11	Now, we will learn some important features of ABT on Desktop. The features are- Import report as pdf/csv. Import and Export organization. Note: Here files will be saved on the Desktop.

Choose Export as PDF	I will choose Export as PDF option.
Select No.	I don’t want to set password for file security. So I will select No.
Click on Save file.	Click on Save file button. A folder called ABT_PDF will get created automatically in the Home directory.
Point to the folder ABT_PDF	All the pdf files generated will be saved in this ABT_PDF folder.

	Now, we will learn how to import and export an organization.
Click on Export Organization option >> Click on Yes.	First let’s learn how to export an organization. Click on Export Organization option and then click on Yes.
Point to export folder	This will create a folder called export in the Home directory. All the exported organizations will be saved in this folder.
	These organizations can be imported on any other Linux machine, on which ABT is installed. We just need to transfer the export folder to the Home directory of the other Linux machine.
	Before transferring the folder, however, we need to give permissions to the folder.
Type sudo chmod 777 export	Open a new terminal and type sudo chmod 777 export. We can now copy the export folder to the other machine.
