    I’m still confused about the context. I’m assuming “VM” doesn’t mean “virtual machine” in this case? Or maybe it does with a different meaning?

    Idk im just an IT guy, not a web developer

      Yes, it means “virtual machine”, but not the kind you’re thinking of.

      This isn’t like VMware Workstation, this is more like the Java VM or the Dalvik VM, it’s a virtual execution environment for a specific purpose.
