Hello and welcome everyone. So in this lesson, we
are going to see how to install virtualbox into
your computer.
So what exactly is virtualbox and
why are we going to use it?
So what will box is a software which is used
for virtualization purposes that basically
means that if you need to install any
virtual machine that is
either a Linux computer or a Windows paste
computer in your operating system.
So currently I'm running Macos and
I want to run any other operating
system. So let's say Kali so for
that we require virtualbox
So I will download the latest version of
virtualbox and my computer. So as you can see the download
has successfully completed and now I
will try to install it and show you how you can install
a virtual machine.
So when you just click on it, it will
verify quickly the setup and the installation.
And it will come up with a screen something like this. So
you need to double click the icon, which is
virtualbox.pkg and allow
it to install. I will just hit next
and install and give my password and
click on install software.
It will just take a couple of seconds to install the
software into your computer.
The process remains exactly the same for other
operating system that you are running on that is
maybe windows or Linux. So
in Macos, it will ask you that. Do you
verify this software developer? So
you just need to say allow?
I will hit OK.
And here you can see the installation was successful.
Now if you want you can keep the software
into a computer that is the package that we have
just downloaded and here are other readme files
and the applications folder.
So when I go into the applications folder you can see that
virtualbox has successfully installed into a
computer and here is the icon. I
will just try to open it and show you how does
it looks like
So this is how the interface would look like, and I
already have created some virtual machines in
my computer that you can see on your left hand side now
in case you need to create a new
virtual machine for your computer. So you need
to click on file and from there.
You can create a new machine.
Here we can see this is the latest version of
virtualbox that we have installed into our
computer.
Now I will click on new this is
basically the name of the operating system that
we are going to provide. So for example, I'm
just going to say this is a Windows 7 computer and
choose Windows 764 bit and
hit continue here is the memory size
which is basically the ram that you
need to provide to that specific operating system. I'm giving
it default as 2GB for now.
Next it will tell you the recommended size is
32 GB, which is basically the hard disk
that you need to provide to the operating system. I'll just
keep it as default and hit on create. It
will ask you to create the hard disk file
type. I will again keep it default as virtualbox disk
image and hit continue.
Then it will ask you the storage on
the physical hard disk. I'm going to keep it as dynamically unlock.
I'm going to keep it as dynamically allocated which
basically means that I need to increase the size later
on if you choose fixed size you will not
be able to increase the size.
Here you can see it is going to save this into a
directory, which is virtualbox VMS and this
is done.
And you can see if successfully created a virtual
machine. Now, you should have a ISO file
downloaded which you can provide to this machine setup
that we have just created and it will
start the installation process here. We can
see these are some general settings then we can see the system.
If you need to modify any settings from here display storage
audio Network ports shared
folders user interface Etc
here. You can provide the CD or
the ISO file, which will be required to set
up your Windows 7 instance.
I hope you guys understood this how you
can do this. Thank you.
