Although \arara\ offers support for older virtual machines, try your best to keep your software updated as frequently as possible. The legacy support exists only for historical reasons, and also due to the sheer fact that we know some people that still runs \arara\ on very old hardware. If you are not in this particular scenario, get the latest virtual machine. \end{messagebox} -In Chapter~\ref{chap:buildingfromsource}, on page~\pageref{chap:buildingfromsource}, we provide instructions on how to build \arara\ from sources using Apache Maven.
