Hey, folks, in this video, we are going to download and install Oracle Virtual Box, what we will
learn is how to check system resources on our computer to make sure we could actually install and run
the Oracle virtual box software on a computer.
And then the second thing, once we confirm that, then we'll go ahead and download, install the Oracle
virtual box software on our computer.
So first thing first, let's check the system resources.
I'm using Windows 10, so I'm going to hit wanky on my computer and it will open up the search and programs
simply type p.c and you will see it will come up as this PC.
If you're running Windows 10, if you're running any older version, you're probably going to see my
PC.
But it doesn't matter just simply right.
Click and go to properties here.
You will see I'm using Windows 10, pro the processor and memory.
One of the basic things that you have to make sure is if you're RAM is anything less than four gig,
then you have to upgrade your computer so you can go through with me and the course and also make sure
your system type of 64 bit.
All right.
So we do have enough resources in terms of CPU and RAM and system type.
Now, next thing we need to check is how much disk space I have again hit the benki type PC and this
time instead of right clicking just simply do left click and it will open up this window and this window.
You have to go to the C drive on my C drive.
I have a total of four hundred seventy five gigabytes of space out of which two hundred fifty nine gig
is free.
Beautiful.
So I have enough resources to create multiple virtual machines within certain limitations.
Just make sure you're not creating a virtual machine that exceeds this number.
All right, let's move on.
Now it's time to download the Oracle Virtual Box Art.
So for that will go to dub, dub, dub dub, virtual box dot org.
And here you will get this link download virtual box six point one.
Depending on what when you are watching this lecture, it might be a newer version, but it doesn't
matter if it's a newer version.
All the version is the what matters is that you're installing virtualization software, so go and click
on it.
All right, it will tell you your basic operating system, so we have already checked that my computer
has windows, so I'm going to go with Windows host.
And save file, once it's saved, depending on where it has saved on your computer, you could click
from here or you go click from your desktop if it saves it to your desktop.
The easiest way is go here and click on it and it will start running that software installation.
So this is a visor.
Just telling you that it's starting will come click next, leave everything default and next create
start menu entries, create a shortcut desktop.
Create a quick lounge bar.
I like it all except this one so I'm going to uncheck it again.
It all depends on your preference.
Click next.
Proceed with installation.
Yes.
By the way, let's go back right here where this warning network interfaces, it will reset your network
interface of your main computer.
So if you're running any production application or anything that might interrupt your workflow, I would
highly recommend stop it.
Then you come back to it and then install it.
So go ahead and click.
Yes.
Install.
All right, depending on the speed of your computer, how fast your computer is, it could take anywhere
from 30 seconds to two minutes.
Mine finish really fast and it says Oracle Virtual Machine Virtual box installation is complete and
click finish.
OK, so now it's going to open up our virtual box.
Right here or down, and you will see this is how the Oracle virtual box looks like, and here we are
going to create new virtual machines in the little electric.
