 Download the word list

We will download the word list from http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/

  1. Download the Official 12 Dicts Package       

  2. Extract the 2of12.txt file to a folder on your local machine. The files are available in tar.gz or ZIP format

We just need to provide the URL and tell the user the name of the file to get.  The external website is a bit confusing if you read steps 1 and 2 and look for the ZIP or tar file. 

Breaking this off into separate JIRA: https://hpccsystems.atlassian.net/browse/HPCC-19382

There are a few things wrong with the doc (the network adapter settings is already documented)

  1. Pages 8 and 9 need to be removed and page 7 - File menu, select Preferences needs to be removed as well.  I was told this was removed in 7.0, but needs to be removed in 6.x

  2. For the self contained VM, we shouldn't need to document Guest Additions

  3. The screen shots for "Running the HPCC VM" are outdated

  4. The IDE and detailed examples do not belong in here.  Output 'Hello World' does.  We should refer users to the IDE book and places for examples
