To go through this recipe, you will need a working installation of a VirtualBox, a free virtualization tool from Oracle.

On Linux: https://www.packtpub.com/books/content/installing-virtualbox-linux
On Mac: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEvM-No4eQo.

To run the VMs, you will need:

• A 64-bit host; Windows 10, macOS, and most of the Linux distributions are 64-bit systems
• A minimum 4 GB of RAM dedicated for the VM, thus a system with a minimum of 8 GB of RAM is required

No other prerequisites are required.
