After installing the simulator I am not able to follow the instructions found here. I installed BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha B Simulator. The page asks to run "BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_ n_nn" but I cannot find any thing like that in my installation directory:

ls -1 BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_10-261/
BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_10.vmwarevm
bbm
controllers
install

I found "runBB10Simulator.sh" in the bbm directory but running it does not actually run a simulator, I am not sure what it does.

$ls -1 BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_10-261/bbm
KeyNego.SIMULATOR.keystore
README.txt
Servers
bin
classpath
licenses
runBB10Simulator.sh
shutdown.sh

Can anyone help?

The simulator requires VMWare player, a free download.

Cheers

EDIT: Mac OS requires http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html which is not free. Either bootcamp windows, install a linux distro or virtualize either to virtualize the emulator... (XZibit meme someone?) which is likely not going to work.

  • Unfortunately I am not finding any player for Mac OS X. I looked for one here: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/5_0|PLAYER-501|product_downloads – russoue Feb 11 '13 at 05:01

MAC OS requires VMFusion 30 day trial for installing the BB 10 simulator.

@russoue:- Once you install VMware Fusion Just open the **BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_10.vmwarevm** with VMware Fusion and you are done. it will take some 5 min to load simulator.
