Create a Virtual Machine.
On this example, create VM to install Debian 11.
[1] Create a Virtual Machine.
# create a directory for VM

root@dlp:~#
mkdir /var/lib/vbox
# create a VM

root@dlp:~#
VBoxManage createvm \
--name Debian_11 \
--ostype Debian_64 \
--register \
--basefolder /var/lib/vbox

Virtual machine 'Debian_11' is created and registered.
UUID: 950f7aa6-1df4-4d2a-9d05-d7ecfe9985ad
Settings file: '/var/lib/vbox/Debian_11/Debian_11.vbox'
# modify settings for VM
# replace interface name [enp1s0] to your own environment
