Working with an Existing Environment in the List
When you select an environment in the list, a row of buttons are displayed on the line which provides access to the operations you can perform on the environment:
Environment Selected
Main Environments list panel with single environment selected
 
To start your new image, click the C:\Users\documentation\Documents\vastePublisher\stable\VAS Documentation Word\images\ig\EnvLaunchButton.png launch button.
For Linux (UNIX):
On UNIX systems, if the launch button is unresponsive, make sure the SHELL environment variable is set appropriately. On Ubuntu, execute sudo usermod –s /bin/bash <userid>at Terminal command prompt.
