Setup
Some (potentially incomplete) notes from my last VirtualBox setup.
 * 1) Initial setup parameters:
 * 2) * Ubuntu 16 (or whatever LTS is current)
 * 3) * Base memory: 2048 MB
 * 4) * VDI: resizable, 24 GB
 * 5) Install VBOxGuestAdditions through the menu   >
 * 6) In the VBox image   >   > , enable.
 * 7) Add Terminal app to dock. In Terminal preferences I changed the shortcut for Edit>Paste from   to just   since I tend to paste commands into the terminal session.
 * 8) Update software:

Control Node version (Ubuntu)
From https://www.abeautifulsite.net/how-to-upgrade-or-downgrade-nodejs-using-npm:

Increase disk space
Hopefully I won't need to do this anymore. From https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=50661
 * 1) Increase the size of the drive. Note: has to use absolute path
 * 2) Extend the primary partition to include the new drive space.
 * 3) * Download the GParted Live CD
 * 4) * Boot VM to GParted Live CD
 * 5) * Perform resize of main partition, may have to recreate swap partition.
