Delta version 6 might have alternative installation or operational guidelines but for version 5 the following information is available. To operate craft a virtual machine needs to be installed. Do this on a separate terminal with NMR operational rights activated. However to date I have not been successful with this process.
The following information is also available but have a look at the Applications section for the Craft users guide.

The virtual machine may be run like a Linux computer by a user (perfectly OK to do), however do not allow Virtual Box to update to a newer version of VirtualBox or to install the VirtualBox additions. Happy CRAFTing! For HELP please post messages to the NMR support web site Craft for Delta forum: https://nmrsupport.jeol.com/Forums/aff/11
If a Windows 10 feature build update disables communication between Delta and the VirtualBox virtual machine:
From the original CRAFT_4_Delta download find and right click on the configCRAFT4Delta script and run as administrator. This should reset the Windows to VirtualBox communications.
Firewall issues.
To check this, we did the following:
Started up the virtual machine and connected as "deltauser".
From Windows, opened a command prompt, and typed ping 192.168.56.11 and got the normal ping responses.
Then from the virtual machine, right clicked on the desktop to open up a Terminal window, and typed ping 192.168.56.10 .We never saw a response in the other direction.
To be sure, we then did a complete uninstall of the virtual machine, then uninstalled virtual box, then started from scratch. Next, we turned the firewall off in Windows settings, and things started communicating properly. At that point, we chose to uninstall the firewall and just used "normal" Windows Defender, which the installation script for CRAFT is designed to work with to properly open up ports.
So, the take home: your mileage may vary if you are using a non-Microsoft firewall. It might be possible to allow Virtualbox free access through another firewall, but that will be left up to the end user to figure out at this point.
