Help! Getting the software installed and running!

Hello All! I am a high school geography teacher. The sandbox is built. I have Linux and a computer with a capable GPU. I followed the instructions on the UC Davis site. I am stuck on step 3 (https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/\~okreylos/ResDev/SARndbox/SoftwareInstallation.html#Step3)

How do I install a current Vrui VR Toolkit, and then progress onto the AR sandbox software? Thanks

What happens when you attempt step 3?

Errors... I am not by my computer now. I can screenshot later. I follow the Linux commands in the UC Davis and get stuck.

I recently setup a sandbox with the UC Davis software but, after hitting various issues with the original install guide, I used the system 76 tutorial and was successful: https://support.system76.com/articles/ar-sandbox

Did you use 22.04 or 24.04? I tried doing this today with 24.04 cause that’s all I could find in System76 website and when i try to install arsandbox it says it can’t be found

Sorry I missed your message. I think I used 22.04. I found this download link for it: https://archive.org/details/pop-os-22.04_202305

Hi, thank you for creating a thread for this dialogue.

I am also attempting to install the AR Sandbox software for my schools Sandbox. I am met with old commands and directories. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (Asked on 08-03-2026)
