Installing Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine with VirtualBox (Video)

In this video tutorial we’re going to see how to install Ubuntu in a virtual machine with VirtualBox. You can watch the whole process in the video below, and further down we’ve included the commands to set up folder sharing:

Here are the two commands you need to create a folder in Ubuntu and then share it:

1. We create a folder in Ubuntu. In this case we create it in the home folder of the user “ricardo”, but you can create it wherever you like. 

   sudo mkdir /home/ricardo/carpetaCompartir
   

2. We make the folder shared. You need to check what name you gave the folder in VirtualBox. In this example we named it “compartirMac”, so replace that folder name with the one you chose: 

   sudo mount -t vboxsf compartirMac /home/ricardo/carpetaCompartir
