I made an unofficial Virtual Box image for running deltachat in Virtual Box:  
[https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmPr3dnkdrtC7zJ6U8nFWPFBZVDGmdGF21shKPEjy3U3fx](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmPr3dnkdrtC7zJ6U8nFWPFBZVDGmdGF21shKPEjy3U3fx)  
(might not be fully downloadable yet, I still don’t quite understand how I get it to be availible when my ipfs node is offline)  
or dropbox if ipfs doesn’t work: [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mr7xi2iz9pwj8o8/AADPB77\_GaiSPi3GWV\_-YIj-a?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mr7xi2iz9pwj8o8/AADPB77_GaiSPi3GWV_-YIj-a?dl=0)  
No guarantees that it works, but feel free to try it and DM me to tell me your results.
