If you are not running real VAX hardware, but just an emulator, then
switch to an Alpha emulator, install the VSI community version of
Alpha VMS, and then call it job done.

There are some Linux based Alpha emulators but their emulation
accuracy is suspect, so I continue to use FreeAXP running on an
old Windows box. This runs VSI Alpha VMS just fine for me.
