I just chose default one: VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image). Next step will be to choose hard disk file type. Click on continue, now you need to choose memory size, since I downloaded “ Ubuntu amd64” version then I will use 4GB of RAM (4096MB).Ĭlick on Continue and select “Create a virtual hard disk now”.
Give a name to your machine, I named it Ubuntu 16.10 and it gave me automatically “type” and “version”. Next step is to setup a new virtual machine, click on icon new, this is also circled in above picture. Windows 10 or maybe some server? In this example I will be installing Linux Ubuntu (16.10 desktop). First step is to double click on the Virtualbox.pkg icon and go through installation process.Ĭongrats you officially installed VirtualBox! Now the fun part begins 🙂 PS! You will find VirtualBox app under Applications folder – scroll down and open VirtualBox app.īefore you click on new, you should figure out what you want to install in VirtualBox. Run the VirtualBox application from the Applications Folder. dmg file and setup window will open, there are two options 1. You will find VirtualBox-5.1.8-111374-OSX.dmg file in Downloads folder, click on it. For example I’m running on macOS Sierra (v 10.12.1) so I will be choosing “ VirtualBox 5.1.8 for OS X hosts” – just click on “amd64” and download begins. It will redirect you to Download page and then choose your desired platform. On the homepage you will see a button Download VirtualBox 5.1 just click on it. I got sick of it and gave a try to virtualization. This program was called Trackpad++ and well it worked until I did a restart and on new boot up it just stopped to work… I thought that maybe I should pay – buy a full version, so before that I googled around and found out that it’s not worth it. I could’t do it on Windows 10, I needed to install some program. Everybody knows that Apple laptops have a nice trackpads where you can swipe between pages, swipe between full-screen apps, with one touch zoom in or out, tap to click etc. Well everything worked 🙂 but I was not happy. So I was stubborn and installed on my Mac Windows 10 alongside Mac OS. In the beginning I was sceptical about virtualization since “I could not touch it”. Oracle VM VirtualBox is free and open-source hypervisor for x86 computers from Oracle Corporation. If you think little bit deeper, then VirtualBox is just a program, where you install a program in it and run it. So your second operating system will run virtually. For example you are using Mac what runs on a macOS operating system, but for some reason you want to install Windows or Linux on it, then it’s probably the best way to use VirtualBox. What is a VirtualBox? VirtualBox is a virtualization program.
