If you are using VirtualBox, you may find it useful to install the Guest ### VirtualBox Guest Additions
Additions. To install these Guest Additions follow [these
instructions](https://askubuntu.com/questions/22743/how-do-i-install-guest-additions-in-a-virtualbox-vm). If you are using VirtualBox, you may find it useful to install the VirtualBox
Guest Additions. Note that these are not actually included in the provided VM
image as the installation depends on VirtualBox version.
The best way to install the guest additions is to install them from the ISO
image provided by VirtualBox. Before doing that though, you need to first
install `dkms` and `build-essential`. In the terminal run
```
sudo apt install dkms build-essential
```
Now you need to obtain the CD. Open your VM and from the menu bar select
`Devices->Insert Guest Additions CD image`. This will download the image.
In case the download fails, you can download the image directly from the
[VirtualBox website](http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/). Make sure
you choose the right version for your VirtualBox installation (you can find it
from the menu bar `Help->About VirtualBox`) and download the
`VBoxGuestAdditions_<version>.iso`. Once the download completes make sure to
mount it in the settings window of your virtual machine.
Open the file explorer and navigate to the inserted CD. From here right click
and select `Open Terminal Here`. The last step is now to run
```
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
```
Once the installation completes, reboot the VM. Amongst other things you can
now enable the shared clipboard from the menu bar with `Devices->Shared
Clipboard`.
