| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Installing VirtualBox on Ubuntu Linux OS. |
| 00:09 | In this tutorial, we will learn to install VirtualBox on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 Operating System. |
| 00:18 | This tutorial is recorded using: Ubuntu Linux 16.04 OS, |
| 00:25 | VirtualBox version 5.2, |
| 00:29 | gedit text editor. |
| 00:32 | However, you may use any text editor of your choice. |
| 00:37 | Before we begin, please make sure that you are connected to the internet. |
| 00:43 | What is VirtualBox?
VirtualBox is a free and open source software for Virtualization. |
| 00:50 | It allows us to install and use multiple OS in the base machine i.e. host. |
| 00:57 | The base machine can have either Windows, Linux or MacOS. |
| 01:03 | To install an OS inside a VirtualBox, the base machine should have the following configuration. |
| 01:11 | i3 processor or higher, |
| 01:14 | Ram 4GB or higher, |
| 01:17 | Hard disk free space 50GB or more and |
| 01:22 | Virtualization should be enabled on BIOS. |
| 01:27 | This will ensure that the VirtualBox will work smoothly. |
| 01:32 | In case the base machine has Ubuntu Linux OS, then it should be any one of the following versions: |
| 01:40 | Ubuntu Linux 14.04, Ubuntu Linux 16.04 or Ubuntu Linux 18.04. |
| 01:50 | Let us start the installation. |
| 01:53 | The commands used in this tutorial are available in the Code Files link, below the player. |
| 02:00 | I have opened this file in gedit text editor on my machine. |
| 02:05 | And, I will use the same file to copy-paste the commands during the demonstration. |
| 02:11 | Important note: Before installing VirtualBox, we have to ensure that Virtualization is enabled on our machine. |
| 02:21 | Let us verify if Virtualization is enabled or not. |
| 02:26 | Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously on your keyboard. |
| 02:35 | Copy this command from the code file and paste it in the terminal.
Press Enter to execute. |
| 02:43 | If the output has vmx flags then Virtualization is enabled on this computer. |
| 02:50 | If it is not enabled, kindly enable it in BIOS settings. |
| 02:55 | As the BIOS settings vary from computer to computer, we cannot show a demo of the same. |
| 03:02 | If you are not a technical person, kindly do this with the help of a System Administrator. |
| 03:09 | If the option Virtualization is not available in the BIOS then we cannot install VirtualBox in that machine. |
| 03:17 | In my case, it is already enabled. |
| 03:21 | First, let us update the base machine with the help of the following command. |
| 03:27 | For that, on the terminal, type: sudo <space> apt-get <space> update
Then press Enter. |
| 03:38 | You may be prompted to enter your system password.
Type the password and press Enter. |
| 03:46 | From now on, type the system password whenever prompted, during this installation and press Enter. |
| 03:55 | Next let us install VirtualBox.
Now we have to add the VirtualBox repository to the Ubuntu source list. |
| 04:04 | To do so, copy this command and paste on the terminal.
Then press Enter. |
| 04:11 | Next, we have to add the VirtualBox repository key to the apt source. |
| 04:17 | To do so, copy these two commands one by one.
Paste them on the terminal and press Enter. |
| 04:32 | Now, we have to update the repository list. |
| 04:36 | For that, type on the terminal, sudo <space> apt-get <space> update
Then press Enter. |
| 04:50 | Next, type: sudo space apt-get space install space virtualbox-5.2
And press Enter. |
| 05:04 | The terminal will display the list of packages to be installed, |
| 05:09 | file size to be downloaded from the internet and the disk space usage after the installation. |
| 05:17 | When asked, “Do you want to continue?”, type Y and then press Enter. |
| 05:23 | The installation may take some time depending on your internet speed. |
| 05:31 | The installation is completed now. |
| 05:34 | Now, go to Dash home. In the search bar, type Virtualbox. |
| 05:42 | Now double-click on the Oracle VM VirtualBox icon. |
| 05:47 | VirtualBox application opens. This indicates that the installation is successful. |
| 05:54 | With this, we come to the end of this tutorial.
Let us summarize. |
| 05:59 | In this tutorial, we have learnt to: check if Virtualization is enabled and
install VirtualBox in Ubuntu Linux 16.04 OS. |
