One thing people should know about VirtualBox Extension Pack it uses a different license than VirtualBox. The VBEP is NOT free for business use (except a one month evaluation) if Oracle happens to audit your company and find the software installed on any computers (whether the software is actually in use or not) then the company is liable for license fees. Download the latest version of VirtualBox for Mac for free. Read 160 user reviews and compare with similar apps on MacUpdate. For Mac OS X hosts, Oracle VM VirtualBox ships in a dmg disk image file.

A window opens, prompting you to double-click on the VirtualBox.pkg installer file displayed in that window. This starts the installer, which enables.
This article provides instructions for importing OVA files into VirtualBox. An OVA file is an Open Virtualization Appliance that contains a compressed, 'installable' version of a virtual machine. When you open an OVA file it extracts the VM and imports it into whatever virtualization software you have installed on your computer. The instructions below explain how to install an OVA file in Oracle VirtualBox, but a similar process can be used to import an OVA into VMWare Player or other virtualization applications.
Briefly, these steps are:
- Download and install VirtiualBox
- Download the OVA file you want and import it as a VM into VirtualBox
- Launch the VM and install and licensed any software you want to use in it
Step 1:
If you have not already done so, install VirtualBox - https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. You can find instructions on how to do this at the Installing VirtualBox wiki page.
- For Mac users, select 'OS X hosts'. Run the file and follow the on-screen directions.
- You can launch VirtualBox from the Applications and 'Keep in dock' if desired.
Step 2:
Obtain the OVA file you would like to use. Students can obtain a Windows OVA file in a couple of different ways:
- McCombs Computer Services distributes an OVA file to students at the SWAT Shop in the basement of the CBA.
- Students can also download this OVA file directly from https://utexas.box.com/v/msb-student-vms. (6.3 GB)
Once downloaded, double click the OVA file to open it in VirtualBox (or whatever virtualization software you have installed). This will open a window similar to the one below that initiates an import process. Check the box marked 'Reinitialize the Mac address of all network cards'.
You should not need to change any configuration settings for the VM to work, but feel free to change any that you would like such as the name of the VM or where you want to save it on your hard drive. If you choose to adjust the RAM settings, it is strongly recommended you do not allocate any more than 50% of the RAM that your computer has.
- Click Import to start importing the OVA file into your library. This process may take several minutes, depending on the size of your OVA file.
- You can delete the OVA file you downloaded. The virtual machine has been extracted to your user folder.
Step 3:
Once VirtualBox has completed importing the OVA file you should be able to see the virtual machine in your list. If desired, you can change the amount of RAM and CPU cores the VM will use when running. In VirtualBox, go to Setttings, System, and increase the RAM and/or CPU cores if you experience slowness in the VM. Please be aware that the more you give the VM, the less the main OS has to work with. When the VM is shut down, all hardware resources go back to the main OS. We recommend at least 1 CPU core and 2 GB of RAM but not more than 50% of the total for either. Select Start (or double-click the VM object in the list) to launch the VM.

Step 4:
The Windows OS in the student VM is Windows 10 Education and it is unlicensed. You will need to enter a Windows license key after launching it for the first time.
- Business School students can obtain a license for Windows through the Microsoft Azure program. To obtain a license, click the link below and log in with your EID: Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching
- Under Get software click 'View All' and select Windows 10 Education, version 1809. Click 'View Key' and copy the license key.
- Enter the license key in the Windows activation window.
- Right click on the start button and choose System.
- You should see a 'Change product key..' link in the System Properties.
- Click the link and enter in (or paste) the key in the blank
You can also install Microsoft Office into the VM by installing it from Office 365. For more information about this please visithttps://office365.austin.utexas.edu/
- Select 'Office 365 Portal - Sign in to download Microsoft Office and use other Office 365 services.'
- Sign in with your EID and EID password
- At the top right, you should see 'Install Office 2016'
If you need Decision Tools, you can download it here - https://utexas.box.com/v/dtsinstaller. Run the installer after downloading. You do not need the SQL Express options.

Oracle VirtualBox is a cross-platform virtualization application. It installs on your existing Intel or AMD-based computers, whether they are running Windows, Mac, Linux or Solaris operating systems. VirtualBox can create and run a 'guest' operating system (virtual machine) in a window of the host operating system. The virtual machine provides a self-contained environment in which to experiment with new software without risking damaging changes to the host operating system.
We will give an instruction with step-by-step screenshots to show how to install VirtualBox with an example of installing Ubuntu OS as a guest machine. We also explain how to share files between the host and guest operating systems.
Downloads
Note the instruction here is based on the latest version of the VirtualBox. If you have already installed an earlier version of VirtualBox, your experience may be different. It is recommended to use the latest version of VirtualBox to avoid issues. The VirtualBox forum is a good place to find a solution if you see any problems.
Go to VirtualBox website here to download the binary for your current operating system. Since our host machine is running on Windows, I'll choose 'x86/amd64' from Windows hosts. When download is finished, run the executable file. Continue with the installation of VirtualBox with the defaults. This will open VirtualBox at the end of the installation.

Create Virtual Machine
Click 'New' button to open a dialog.
Type a name for the new virtual machine. Since I am planning to install Ubuntu 14.04, I'll enter 'ubuntu1404'. Note that VirtualBox automatically changes 'Type' to Linux and 'Version' to 'Ubuntu (64 bit)'. These two options are exactly what we need.
The memory size depends on your host machine memory size. In my case, I have 12GB physical RAM. I like to allocate as much as possible for Ubuntu but leave some for my Windows host machine. I pick 8192 MB for my Ubuntu. Note that VirtualBox will create a swap partition with the same amount space as base memeory you have entered here. So later when you are selecting the size of the virtual hard drive, make sure it is large enough since the hard drive will be splitted into root (/)and swap partitions. The root partition contains by default all your system files, program settings and documents.
Accept the default 'Create a virtual hard drive now' and click 'Create' button.
Continue to accept the default 'VDI' drive file type and click 'Next' button.
Change the storage type from the default 'Dynamically allocated' to 'Fixed size' to increase performance.
For the virtual hard drive space, the default value is 8GB which is too little for RNA-Seq analysis. I'll pick 100GB since I have plenty of space in my hard disk. You want to choose a good size for your RNA-Seq analysis. If you realize the drive space is not large enough, you'll need to go over these steps again to create another virtual machine.
Click 'Create' button and VirtualBox will generate Ubuntu virtual machine.
Now the virtual machine is created. We are ready to install Ubuntu in this virtual machine. Select your new virtual machine and click 'Settings' button. Click on 'Storage' category and then 'Empty' under Controller:IDE. Click 'CD/DVD' icon on right hand side and select the ubuntu ISO file to mount.
Note that if you have not downloaded 64-bit Ubuntu ISO file, you can check out this page for more information. When downloading Ubuntu ISO file, make sure to selecte 64-bit version. Also make sure the VT-x/Virtualization Technology has been enabled in your computer's BIOS/Basic Input Output System.
Since Tophat program can take an advantage of multiple processors/threads, it is a good idea to specify a large number of processors in virtual machine (default value is 1). You can change this number by clicking on 'System' category. In this case, I change the number of CPUs to 4 since 4 is the largest value shown on the green bar in my case. Now you can click 'OK' button to continue.
VirtualBox may pop up a message about 'Auto capture keyboard' option. Read the message there and check 'Do not show this message again' option before clicking OK.
Install Ubuntu
Back to Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager, click on the new Ubuntu virtual machine and hit 'Start' button. Now you shall see a 'Welcome' screen. Click 'Install Ubuntu' button. Note that the installation process may differ a little bit from version to version. The screenshots here are based on Ubuntu 14.04.1.
Click 'Continue' button.
Make sure 'Erase disk and install Ubuntu' option is selected and click 'Install Now' button. The sims 3 1.67.2 crack.
Ubuntu will ask you a few questions. The hateful eight script pdf. If the default is good, click 'Continue' button.
In 'Who are you?' dialog, enter your preferred name, username and password. Note that this user will have root/sudo privilege. Click 'Continue' button.
The installation will continue until it is finished.
After installation is complete, click 'Restart Now' button. When you see a screen with a black background saying 'Please remove installation media and close the tray (if any) then press ENTER:', just follow it.
Enter the password you have chosen and press 'Enter'.
The Ubuntu Desktop OS is ready. You may find the desktop screen is too small. Don't worry. You can solve this easily with 'VirtualBox Guest Additions'.
More About VirtualBox
Guest Additions
After the Ubuntu guest machine is installed, you will find the Ubuntu OS screen size is not extendable and you are not able to share folders between the host machine and Ubuntu.
Guest Additions software provide additional capability to a guest virtual machine, including mouse pointer integration, better video support, share folders, share clipboard, et al.
Before we proceed to install Guest Additions, make sure the current user has sudo/root privilege. If the current user does not have sudo/root privilege or it is not sure, run the following terminal command from an account (such as the user created when Ubuntu was first created; see the screenshot of 'Who are you?' above) with root privileges to enable the root privilege for the current user where USERNAME should be replaced by the current user's name.
To install Guest Additions, click Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD imagesā¦
Click 'Run' button (next to 'Cancel' button) to start the installation. Note that the version of VBOXADDITIONS should be matched with the one of VirtualBox you have installed.
Installing Guest Additions requires root privilege. Enter user's password (assume the current user has sudo privilege).
When the installation is finished, press Return key to close the terminal window.
Now prepare to restart the system to enable the change. Click 'Shutdown' on the menu and then the 'Restart' button.
After rebooting Ubuntu, you will see the desktop resolution is much better.
Share Folders
Before you can enable shared folders on the host machine, make sure you have installed VirtualBox Guest Additions software on the guest machine.
When Ubuntu guest machine is on, click on Devices > Shared folders settingsā¦
Select Machine Folders and hit the add button (plus sign).
Browse to the folder you wish to access from the guest machine. Check Auto-mount and Make Permanent options and click OK button.
Click OK button once more.
Now type 'terminal' in Dash to open a Terminal.
Type the following line in the Terminal to add a user to 'vboxsf' group. This step is necessary in order to use the VB's 'Shared Folder' feature.Replace 'brb' with your account name in Ubuntu.When you are done, restart the Ubuntu guest machine and go to /media/ directory. From Nautilus (file manager in Ubuntu), click Computer > File System > Media folder and inside it you will see a folder beginning with sf_ (the folder name is sf_Downloads in our example). Now you can transfer files between the Ubuntu guest machine and the Windows host machine in Nautilus.
Although Shared Folder system in VirtualBox is a nice feature, using VirtualBox shared folder directly for fastq data, annotation or output directorycan significantly reduce the performance compared to a native (Ubuntu) system or VirtualBox native system.
BRB-SeqTools
After Ubuntu has been successfully installed on VirtualBox, users can be go back to download and use BRB-SeqTools program.
