**Prerequisites and GeoNode Training Virtual Machine**

* If you have successfully completed one of the previous training modules, you can keep using the same Virtual Machine deployed at GN1 section Quick installation guide.
* If you are starting this module from scratch, you might want to install a Virtual Machine with dataset already configured and deployed. Download the Virtual Machine OVA from the `GeoSolutions-GeoNode-Training-VM-4.2.3-Initialized <https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/xm7pnujio3w2f2fttdubw/AAyFATdigsMWXvlJ2bjtM0s?rlkey=zb1ap4cb3qbul6ejcizl1p2bb&dl=0>`_ folder

   
.. warning::
    The file is quite big, about `6.7 GB`. Please make sure you downloaded it before the training actually starts.
        -  Deploy and start the Virtual Machine as described on GN1 section Quick Installation Guide.
        -  Check the users and services deployed on the Virtual Machine from the GN1 section GeoNode Virtual Machine Structure

* Make sure you are familiar with GeoNode and its functionalities and your Virtual Machine is correctly working and configured as per GN1 Training module.

.. warning::
     In the next sections we might refer to some GeoNode users and datasets deployed and configured during the previous modules.
