add installation by VM instructions

[tomkralidis]

Per discussion/presentation with @golfvert, add documentation for installing wis2box by way of VM (Proxmox).

[maixino]

is it possible to have a tutorial on the installation of this application?

[tomkralidis]

@Maixentkambi for wis2box itself, please see the quickstart in the documentation: https://wis2box.readthedocs.org. Let us know if this helps. Note that this documentation would follow the actual VM installation.

I am trying to install the application on centos 7 of my desktop pc.
the document is not explicit on the installation part.
what is the difference between wis2box-main and wis2box?

[golfvert]

I guess you are referring to the two installation methods described on the page
It is either the "ZIP Archive" method or the "Github" method.
Install git and use that one.
As, eventually, you may contribute to the code, git gets you a step closer.
If not already available here is how to install git https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git

Hi all,

I need a tutorial that explains step by step the installation of wis2box . The wis2box 0.2.dev0 documentation on this link https://wis2box.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ is not explicit.
Thanks

Update 2022-10-28: consensus that guide should articulate that user starts from installing OS (recommend latest stable Ubuntu) and wis2box.
