Problems while installing athena

[404lol13]

I followed the instructions of "Installing as a guest in VMware",using VMware on Windows
https://athenaos.org/en/installation/install-guest-vmware/
the final step couldn't be done

because of my windows environment,with no terminal,no sudo ,no modprobe.

well i skipped this step at first,but the problem comes:
i started the vm with this widget shown:

well i dont know what it is or how it works.
i guess there were some more further steps to go?

besides,this machine could not connect to the internet.I made sure my VMware was NAT with dchp enabled and VMnet0,VMnet8 working perfectly well.But the "ip a"and "ping" actually disappointed me:

(https://github.com/Athena-OS/athena-repository/assets/156050827/85f18f5b-9f84-414a-806c-698d046a8ae2)

here is my configuration:

what should i do if the net works normally well?
what should i do to connet to the network?

or someone can tell me what to do next?

the iso i downloaded was the one from your site:


why the guidance of athena below didn't show up?

Mmm... could be that your connection is suffering the Great Firewall?

Mmm... could be that your connection is suffering the Great Firewall?

it seems that i could ping the 8.8.8.8 and receive the response pack,but google.com couldn't be found,similar to the dns issue.

the athena iso i downloaded was from offical site,which means i managed to connect to the Internet(github).
the dns of the virtual machine didn't work well,and i got stuck at this stage.(the second picture of the first comment)

first issue: please teach me what to do next to get athena fully installed(ignoring the net issue).
second issue:how to configure the dns server on the athena machine?

Did you try to use a VPN?

Did you try to use a VPN?

I'm using the VPN connecting to github,yes.

this is not like the page shown on the official site,could you tell me how to continue?

It is different because that iso is Athena Nix. U should choose the 1st one. In the next days I will create a new test ISO. U can test it with me if you wish.

[D3vil0p3r]

PS: use VPN at system level

i'll do it
i could write a tutorial when i get started.
in China ,there're barely no technical files about Athena,so it's hard to start with it.
I'll provide some help building Athena's Mandarin community

It would be wonderful. Once the new test Athena ISO will be deployed, I will update also the docs pages on the official website.

would it be proper to follow the "installing over NixOS" since the pack i installed was Athena-nix?
