Also download the below in order to work as a virtual disc and use on the virtual box:

The best version to work with is the below ubunto version for desktop:

Ubunto Download For Desktop - [Ubuntu 20.04.6 Desktop (64-bit)](https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/ubuntu-20.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent?_ga=2.205911894.435674917.1681311557-1757327350.1677146562)

The downloaded file would be a torrent file and with a small size, you need to extract the iso file from the torrent using any torrent extractor:

[Download uTorrent.](https://www.utorrent.com/downloads/win/)

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/kwentra/HagJSRaBr-3RAXhp/images/prerequisites/proxy-virtual-machine-setup/0beb6a9461.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=HagJSRaBr-3RAXhp&q=85&s=a1d1b7b67b8261183d84e0de38d8628d" alt="" width="1920" height="943" data-path="images/prerequisites/proxy-virtual-machine-setup/0beb6a9461.png" />

* Install uTorrent
* Click **File**
* Click **Add Torrent**
* Select the torrent file you just downloaded
