+This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to setting up an Ubuntu VM on Oracle VirtualBox, installing the HPCC-Platform, and preparing the environment for testing and development.
+
+#### Setting Up an Ubuntu VM on Oracle VirtualBox
+
+**Overview of the installation process on a Windows machine:**
+
+1. **Download and install Oracle VirtualBox:**
+    - Visit the Oracle VirtualBox [website](https://www.virtualbox.org/) and download the latest version for Windows.
+    - Follow the installation instructions to install VirtualBox on your system.
+
+2. **Download the Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop ISO file:**
+    - Go to the Ubuntu [downloads page](https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop) and download the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ISO file.
+
+3. **Set up a new VM in VirtualBox:**
+    - Open VirtualBox and click on `New` to create a new virtual machine.
+    - Name the VM and select the type and version (Linux, Ubuntu 64-bit).
+    - Configure system settings such as memory size and hard disk (create a virtual hard disk now).
+    - Link the ISO file by going to the `Settings` of the VM, navigating to `Storage`, and attaching the ISO file to the optical drive.
+    - Boot the VM and follow the installation wizard to complete the Ubuntu setup.
+
+#### Installing HPCC-Platform on the VM
+
+**After successfully installing the VM, proceed with installing the HPCC-Platform:**
+
+1. **Download the HPCC-Platform package:**
+   ```sh
+   wget https://cdn.hpccsystems.com/releases/CE-Candidate-9.8.2/bin/platform/hpccsystems-platform-community_9.8.2-1jammy_amd64_withsymbols.deb
+   ```
+
+2. **Install the package:**
+   ```sh
+   sudo dpkg -i hpccsystems-platform-community_9.8.2-1jammy_amd64_withsymbols.deb
+   ```
+
+3. **Fix missing dependencies:**
+   ```sh
+   sudo apt-get install -f
+   ```
+
+4. **Check if the installation is successful:**
+   ```sh
+   sudo /etc/init.d/hpcc-init status
+   ```
+5. **Start HPCC-Platform:**
+   ```sh
+   sudo /etc/init.d/hpcc-init start
+   ```
+
+6. **Verify access to ECL Watch:**
+    - Open a browser on your local machine and go to `http://192.168.0.221:8010/` to check if you can access ECL Watch.
+
+#### Cloning and Checking Out the HPCC-Platform Repository on VM
+
+1. **Clone the HPCC-Platform GitHub repository:**
+   ```sh
+   git clone https://github.com/hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform.git
+   ```
+
+2. **Navigate to the repository directory:**
+   ```sh
+   cd HPCC-Platform
+   ```
+
+3. **Check out the specific version of HPCC-Platform:**
+   ```sh
+   git checkout candidate-9.8.x
+   ```
+
+#### Running Regression Test Setup
+
+**Navigate to the testing directory and set up regression tests:**
+   ```sh
+   cd testing/regress
+   ./ecl-test setup --preAbort '/opt/HPCCSystems/bin/smoketest-preabort.sh'
+   ```
+
+#### Running Spray Tests
+
+**Execute the spray tests:**
+   ```sh
+   ./ecl-test query --preAbort /opt/HPCCSystems/bin/smoketest-preabort.sh --excludeclass python2,embedded-r,embedded-js,3rdpartyservice,mongodb *spray*
+   ```
+
+#### Generating JSON Files
+
+**Generate JSON files for workunits, files, and DFU workunits:**
+   ```sh
+   curl localhost:8010/WsWorkunits/WUQuery.json | python3 -m json.tool > workunits.json
+   curl localhost:8010/WsDfu/DFUQuery.json?PageSize=250 | python3 -m json.tool > files.json
+   curl localhost:8010/FileSpray/GetDFUWorkunits.json | python3 -m json.tool > dfu-workunits.json
+   ```
+
+#### Transferring Files Using WinSCP
+
+Find your json files in the VM and use the WinSCP tool to transfer files from the VM to your local machine.
+
