Understanding and Setting Up Our Development Environment
In general, we want to keep at least 2 GB per Magento installation,
and another 3 GB if we are running the database server on the same
installation. This is not to say that all that space will be used at once or
even at all, but Magento installations can use a lot of disk space once
product images and cache files are factored in.
7. Finally, we just need to click on the Create button.
The main difference is that the fixed-size hard disk will reserve
the space on the physical hard drive right from the start, whereas
the dynamically allocated hard disk will grow incrementally until
it acquires the specified size.
The newly created box will appear on the left-hand side navigation menu,
but before starting our recently created VM, we need to make some changes,
as follows:
i. Select our newly created VM and click on the Settings button at
the top.
ii. Open the Network menu and select Adapter 2. We will set
Attached to to Bridged Adapter as we want to set this up as a
bridged adapter to our main network interface. This will allow us
to connect remotely using SSH.
