This means that you need to enable the hardware acceleration and, or virtualization settings in your computer's BIOS. For example, I would have selected Linux here, and then, out of my menu here, I would have selected Red Hat 64-bit.īy the way, if you do not have a Red Hat 64-bit option, that most likely means that your hardware acceleration features for your computer are not enabled. If it didn't, you could simply use the drop down boxes and make the appropriate selections. As I type that in, VirtualBox automatically selected Linux as the type, and Red Hat 64-bit as the version. I'm going to name my virtual machine "centosdesktop". And as you can see, it asks you for a few bits of information, the name, the machine folder, the type, and the version. So I'm just going to go ahead and click New here. Next, create a new virtual machine for your CentOS operating system installation. And I see Oracle VM VirtualBox, and that's what I wanna run, so I'll start it there. I'm here on Windows, so I'm just going to search for it here. Now that you have your virtual disk image downloaded and extracted, it's time to go ahead and start the VirtualBox application.

Now, remember that this process was covered in an earlier video, one for Mac users and another one for Windows users, so if you have any questions about how to extract this file, go back and watch one of those videos. Now I'm on a Windows system, so I'm going to right click here on the file that we just downloaded, go to 7-Zip, and then from here, I'm going to click Extract Here. Now, this is typically your Downloads folder. First, you're going to navigate to the folder where you saved the download.

Once the download is completed, you need to extract the contents of the archive. Now again, this is a very large file, so it will take at least several minutes to download. Now, you might see a message stating that the file is too large for Google Drive to do a quick virus scan on it, but that's totally okay. Now, simply scroll down here and click where it says, "Click here to download the VDI." At the time of this recording, the file is hosted on Google Drive. I'll put a link to this page in the resource section for this lesson. The first thing you need to do is download a CentOS VDI, or virtual disk image.
