Hello,  
In the virtual machine, you’ll find a folder sdk-\*\*\*\* (sdk-1.0.1-8 in my case, it may now have a higher version).  
Inside this folder you’ll find a sh script called install.sh, just execute it to install everything automatically.  
I don’t think you need the Starter.zip, cause I didn’t remember it.

Also, have a look at the readme.txt, and the doc/urcap\_tutorial.pdf inside the sdk folder for more informations 🙂

Huum, you could try to install “dialog” manualy with `sudo apt-get install dialog -y` and retry.  
(If it work for dialog, but the same message appear instead “mvn” instead, do the exact same thing.)

Also, try to run install.sh as `sudo`  
Or run `chmod +x install.sh` first.
