  8. 00:11 What is VirtualBox?
  9.  
  10. It's a piece of software that allows you to emulate an operating system, on your own PC. And use it like it's running on real hardware. As most people run a Windows P.C. Being able to use Ubuntu for development on a virtual machine is essential. Using Virtual Box, allows us to create a Linux machine inside our Windows PC. 99% of our development work on the blockchain will be on Linux.
  11.  
  12. 00:45 Okay, let's download and setup Virtual Box.
  13.  
  14. 00:53 The first thing to note is that we are going to run an old version of VirtualBox. The newest is 6.1. We need to be able to install Ubuntu 16.04 on the virtual machine. And the last working version I know of is 5.2. So we will be using this version.

  16. 01:14 Type in the address in the tool bar or by clicking on the link in the transcript. (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_5_2)
  17.  
  18. 01:20 Scroll down to Virtual box 5.2.26 and click on the Windows hosts. Your download should start right away.
  19.  
  20. 01:30 Then go to Extension Pack. We will be needing this too. The extension pack will allow the use of USB and other add-on's.
  21.  
  22. 01:44 Once the VirtualBox executable has downloaded, click on open.
  23.  
  24. 01:53 To install, just click next all the way.
  25.  
  26. 02:04 Then click yes. Then click on install. It won't take long to install. Once installed, click on finish to launch virtual box.
  27.  
  28. 02:17 Now we can see the virtual box application. We need to add the extension pack.
  29.  
  30. 02:23 So, go to File. Preferences and click on the extensions tab. Here, on the right, you will see a small blue square with a green plus sign. Click on it and navigate to your extension pack. It should be in your downloads folder. Click on the extension pack and choose open.
  31.  
  32. 02:47 Then click on install.
  33.  
  34. 02:54 Scroll down to the bottom and click on. ''I agree''. Then wait for it to install.
  35.  
  36. 03:07 Then click on OK to exit. Then OK again to exit the preferences. That's all we need to do for now.
  37.  
  38. 03:15 In our next tutorial, we will be installing Ubuntu 16.04 on VirtualBox.
