Downloading

Visit the Dogebox releases page, and downloaded the latest asset ISO image for the aarch64 architecture.

Installing

The default of 4096mb is typically fine.

Set the amount of storage you want

UTM uses sparse disk files, so a 500GB disk will not actually take up 500GB on your hard drive.

If you wish to sync the blockchain in this VM image, ensure you set this to over 300GB.

Skip any shared directory configuration

Name your VM image and open settings
