Environment Setup
In this unit, hands-on labs and assignments will be conducted on a dedicated virtual
machine image. You are strongly suggested to follow the guidelines to set up your own
hands-on environment before doing your assignments and labs. The environment
includes the virtual machine software, e.g., VirtualBox and Linux (Ubuntu 16.04), with
which you can work on the assignments and labs using your own personal computers.
Getting familiar with them is critical.
Virtual Machine Software:
VirtualBox is recommended for the assignment in this unit, which is open-source and
completely free. It can be downloaded at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.
We note that other virtual machine software like VMware Player and Parallels Desktop
are also compatible to use.
Go to the download page shown as below and choose the appropriate installation
package according to your host operating system:
For MAC users, please select VirtualBox for OS X hosts. Please note that this lab setup
will not work with MAC computers with M1 Chips.
Operating System:
Modified SEED Ubuntu16.04 VM (32-bit): This VM was built in June 2019.
Download the image from one of the following servers:
o Google Drive: FIT5003-SEEDUbuntu-16.04-32bit.zip
o Cloudstor: FIT5003-SEEDUbuntu-16.04-32bit.zip

The following example presents how to create a shared folder between Mac OS as a
host machine and Seed Ubuntu virtual machine. If you are using other host operating
systems, the instruction should be the same.

into the folder. For testing purposes, you can simply create“hello.txt”text file in the
folder. - Mounting the folder to your Ubuntu VM.
- Then select the“Shared Folders”and click on“Add a new Shared”
