This guide assumes that you’ve already installed your Linux operating system in the VM correctly. With these instructions, it doesn’t matter what host system you’re using, as long as the virtual machine is running Linux. In this guide, we’ll be going over the step by step instructions to get VirtualBox Guest Additions installed on Debian based and Red Hat based Linux systems. Guest Additions will work with just about any Linux distribution, but instrutions can differ because of dependencies and package managers. It also changes the virutal machine’s resolution automatically when its window is resized, so you do not need to change it manually. This makes copying data to and from a host system much more convenient.
VirtualBox Guest Additions will give the machine more capabilities, such as a shared clipboard with the host system, drag and drop file transfer, time synchronization, shared folders, automatic window resizing, and more. If you’re running Linux inside a VirtualBox virtual machine, installing the Guest Additions software will help you get the most out of the system.
