## Start VirtualBox. In Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager, Select: Machine -> New. In Name, put: OctaveDev; Type: Linux; Version: Ubuntu (64-bit). Adjust Memory size to half of what is available. For example, if 16384 MB are available, type 8192. In Hard disk, select: Create a virtual hard disk now. Click Create.

For example, if 16384 MB are available, type 8192. In 'Hard disk', select: 'Create a virtual hard disk now'. Click Create.
## In Create Virtual Hard Disk window, under File size: 50 GB; Hard disk file type: VDI; Storage on physical hard disk: Dynamically allocated. Click Create.

## Back to Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager, select OctaveDev, click on Settings. In System, select Processor tab. Adjust the number of CPUs to half of what is available, since this will speed up the compilation and response of the VM. For example, if you have 8 cores, select 4. Click OK. In Storage, under 'Controller: IDE', select Empty. Under Attributes, click on the disk icon. Browse and select the iso file previously downloaded. Click OK.
