This section explains how to run Clear Linux inside a `VirtualBox`_
environment.
Download VirtualBox
===================
Virtualbox is a hypervisor supported by *Oracle**, you can
download it from its official site
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
and select the operating system you are using,
furthermore you can download its source code. At this point is very
important to download **version 5.0 or grather**, this is in order to
get support for :abbr:`AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions)` feature
that is used in Clear Linux.

Clear Linux comes with VirtualBox kernel modules in a bundle. You can install
these modules using
.. code:: bash
Clear Linux can support kernel modules for VirtualBox. Install the bundle
that supports these modules with::
# swupd bundle-add virtualbox-guest
In order to use the VirtualBox additions it's necessary to load vboxsf module
.. code:: bash
And to use the VirtualBox additions, load the ``vboxsf`` module::
# modprobe vboxsf
