1. Aim:
To install a C compiler within the virtual machine established using VirtualBox
and run basic programs.
2. Objective: Install a C compiler in OS of virtual machine of Host system and
then run a basic c program.

3. Steps to Install:
Step 1: Set Up a Virtual Machine:
• Download and install VirtualBox on your host machine.
• Create a new virtual machine within VirtualBox.
• Install an operating system on the virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu, Fedora,
etc.). You can download the ISO image of the OS from their official
websites. For this experiment I installed linux lite.

Step 2: Start the Virtual Machine:

• Start the virtual machine and log in to the operating system.

Step 3: Update the Package Manager:

• Open a terminal on your virtual machine.
• Run the following commands to update the package manager:
sudo apt # For Debian/Ubuntu-based
update systems

Step 4: Install the C Compiler (GCC):

• Run the following command to install the GCC compiler:

sudo apt install build- # For Debian/Ubuntu-based This will
essential systems install the
necessary
tools and libraries for compiling C programs.

Step 5: Write and Compile a Basic C Program:
• Use a text editor to write a simple C program (e.g., use nano, vim, or gedit).
• Save the program with a .c extension, for example, file.c.
• Write a basic printf program:

Step 6: Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you saved your C
program.
