WeBWorK 2.7 is available as a virtual machine image.

The instructions

http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Installing_from_WW2.7_Ubuntu12.04_Vanilla_Virtual_Machine_Image

cover the installation of the Ubuntu Linux 12.04.2LTS 64 bit operating system and WeBWorK 2.7 using the WeBWorK Virtual Machine Image.

The WeBWorK Virtual Machine Image is an .ova file which is an "open, secure, portable, efficient and extensible format for the packaging and distribution of software to be run in virtual machines" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Virtualization_Format) and is supported by VMware, VirtualBox, etc. This image file has been tested on VMware Player 5 and VirtualBox 4.

The md5sum files on the wiki page give md5sums for the wrong files (for the liveDVD images, not the .ova files).
