If you have ever installed an app on Windows, the process of installing the Oracle VirtualBox hypervisor will feel familiar. It follows the typical Windows installation process.

1 Assuming you downloaded your VirtualBox software file to the Downloads folder, navigate to that folder and double‐click the software file. The file will have a name similar to the following, but with version numbers instead of # : VirtualBox‐ # . # . # ‐ ###### .exe.

2 Click the Next button in the VirtualBox Welcome window, which looks similar to the following:

3 If desired, in the Custom Setup window, make any modification you'd like. If you want to install VirtualBox using the defaults, just click the Next button.

4 In the second Custom Setup window, remove check marks from the boxes if you want to have fewer methods for accessing VirtualBox or no registered file associations. Click the Next button when you are done. If you want to keep the defaults, just click the Next button.

5 After reading the Warning window and you are ready to proceed with the installation, click the Next button.

6 You get one more chance to bail out of this installation. If you want to continue, click the Install button.

7 If you are not performing this VirtualBox software installation in an account that has administrator privileges, you will receive a pop‐up window asking for the administrator password. Enter the password and click the Yes button.

8 At this point, you will receive an installation status box that shows the progress of the VirtualBox software install, similar to the following:

9 After the software installation is completed, you'll receive a window letting you know that it is done. Click the Finish button to open the VirtualBox hypervisor app.

10 You should see a window showing the Oracle VirtualBox hypervisor interface, called the VirtualBox Manager, which looks similar to this:Congratulations! You have successfully installed the hypervisor software! You are ready to start the process of creating your Ubuntu Server VM.

If you need to take a break, close out the VirtualBox interface window by clicking the X in the upper‐right corner. However, if you want to plow on ahead, keep it open. We'll launch into installing Ubuntu Server in the next section.
