MB-System Virtual Machine based on Ubuntu 24.04 and MB-System 5.8.3beta9 for Intel/AMD 64bit

MB-System virtual machine. 

Based on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. The installation follows the instructions from the MB-System's website: https://www.mbari.org/technology/mb-system/

The key difference in this release is that MB-System is installed in the user's home folder. Therefore, there is no need to use "sudo" or administrative rights for its recompilation and upgrades. To update it follow these steps:

1. MB-System download the latest release at Github, 
2. unzip it and name the folder "mbsystem",
3. In the folder /sandbox rename the current "msystem" folder to "mbsystem_old",
4. move the folder from step 2 into the sandbox folder,
5. open a terminal inside and execute the following commands:
1. mkdir build
2. cd build
3. cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/jhendrix/sandbox/mbsystem -DotpsDir=/Users/jhendrix/sandbox/otps -DbuildTRN=OFF
4. make
5. make install
6. test your new installation by opening a terminal and running: "mbinfo -v". The reported version should match the one you downloaded.

The OTPS tide prediction software is already installed, please review the OTPS license (available on their website). Contact the OTPS devs to obtain access to the tide model files, and drop the folder containing them at /sandbox/otps/DATA.

For further support contact the MB-System team at the official mailing list.

The VM will be periodically updated (every 3-4 months). The VM also contains the official MB-System tutorial and sample data, available at: https://github.com/dwcaress/MB-System-Tutorial and here: https://zenodo.org/records/15689285

PS: The user password is "marum" if that is requested at login or when running things like sudo.
