We recommend that you use Oracle VirtualBox as the hypervisor on your system. You can download the latest version of this software from virtualbox.org.

It is important that you get the correct platform package of VirtualBox. You'll see a list of potential host systems on the VirtualBox website, such as the following:

 Windows

 macOS

 Linux

Make sure to select the VirtualBox package for the system on which the Ubuntu Server virtual machine will be running. Often people make an incorrect choice, because they confuse the host system with the virtual machine. Here's an example that may help: if you have a laptop running Windows where you plan on installing Ubuntu Server as a VM, then Windows is the host, and you want to download the VirtualBox package for Windows. Our examples in this chapter are based on a Windows 10 host system.
