## Use a Virtualbox image
For testing Pivilion without a Raspberry Pi, you can use an Ubuntu server (or any other Debian-based OS) as a base and install all packages from this manual. Some package names may differ, depending on your system. Use
'apt-cache search package name'
`apt-cache search package name`
to search for similar packages. In Ubuntu server php5-cgi is called php-cgi.
Run your appliance in bridged networking mode if you need to access your Pivillion appliance from your local network.
You can skip all the Raspberry-specific steps if you chose to use Virtualbox. You can also download prepared Virtualbox appliances with Pivilion completely installed, or a base system to install Pivilion yourself.

PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for (but not limited to) web development. We use it to run our basic gallery generation script.
php5-cgi is a PHP to CGI interpreter. CGI (Common Gateway Interface ) offers a standard protocol for web servers to interface with executable programs running on a server that generate web pages dynamically. The interpreter is how Lighty handles PHP.
