The next screen deals with the storage on the physical hard disk.

For the purpose of this document, just keep the default (VDI): See the Oracle VirtualBox documentation for more information about selecting virtual hard disk types. You will get a dialog box for creating various virtual hard disk types, and there are several hard disk types listed here. By default, VirtualBox® will automatically fill the 'Create a virtual hard disk now' radio button. Now we need to set up the hard disk size. There's no screenshot for this one, just change the value based on your available memory. Keep in mind that VirtualBox® is only going to use this memory while the virtual machine is running. If you've got memory to spare, allocate 2 to 4 GB (2048 MB or 4096 MB) - or more. That will not be optimum for any modern OS, including Rocky Linux. By default, VirtualBox® will automatically fill this to 1024 MB. Next, we need to allocate some RAM for this machine. Leave the machine folder as automatically filled.With no images installed you will get a screen that looks something like this:įirst, we need to tell VirtualBox® what our OS is going to be: Once you have VirtualBox® installed, the next step is to start it. Preparing The VirtualBox® Configuration ¶ If your configuration screen shows only 32-bit options, then you need to stop and fix this before continuing. Hardware virtualization is 100% necessary in order to install a 64 bit OS. Ensure that your OS is 64 bit and that hardware virtualization is turned on in your BIOS.A copy of the Rocky Linux DVD ISO for your architecture.VirtualBox® installed on your machine.A machine (Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris) with available memory, and hard disk space to build and run the VirtualBox® instance.The machine used to build this documentation was running Linux but, you can use any of the supported operating systems.

This document is an attempt to give a step-by-step set of instructions for getting Rocky Linux up and running in VirtualBox®. The problems people usually report often involve video. It has been tested multiple times going back to the release candidate, and works just fine. Once in a while, someone posts that they are having trouble getting Rocky Linux to run in VirtualBox®. VirtualBox® is a powerful virtualization product for both enterprise and home use.
