The type of the disk image can be VDI (to use with oracle virtualbox), VHD (can be use with windows virtualization as well) or VMDK (can be used with VMware virtualization)

Hard Disk: choose 'Create a virtual har disk now', the size depends on the free space on your computer but at least 8GB.Note that your hosting machine = your computer needs a minimum of RAM to function and for running the virtualbox system itself. Choose memory size (I chose 2048M RAM, for some JetBrains products like IntelliJ and CLion, 2GB is minimum and 4GB is recommended.Click on 'new' button or in the menu File -> new.

run virtual box and create new machine:.
