Installing Evren on VirtualBox

machine. Open Virtual Box (via the “Applications” folder or via a Spotlight Search).

You may choose a different Machine Folder to store the VMs. When you’re ready, click Continue.
4. On the following screen, choose how much RAM (the amount of memory) you want to allocate to
your VM, and then click Continue. Keep in mind if you set this too high, your Mac won’t have enough
memory to run. The default recommendation is 4096 MB, which is enough to run most installers.
You can always change this later in Settings.
5. Now, you have to decide the size of the hard disk for your VM, or if you want one at all. Select Create
a Virtual Hard Disk Now and then click Create.
6. Next, you have to decide which type of hard disk to create. The default is VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image),
which is Oracle’s proprietary container format.

performance, select Fixed Size and then click Continue.
8. We recommend space allocation of 20 GB for the items below for software and swap space.
