In order to install a VESPA data service, enabling an EPN-TAP access point on your data collection, you can follow the tutorials proposed here. The first tutorial is dealing with the installation and configuration of web services, using a Virtual Box installation. Note that the final (production) server should not run under Virtual Box, but rather within a professional virtualization framework, or using a real physical computer.
