VBox is available for different host OSs, including Linux, MacOS and Windows. Note that, when running, VBox is like other programs, or better user processes, running on the host OS. The second is the OS that runs on the VM: this is usually known as the guest OS. The first one is the OS that runs on the physical machine: this is usually known as the host OS. Thus, when we use a VM like VBox (or VMware Player), we need to consider two operating systems (OS's). (In addition to run VMs, VBox can also create and configure VMs.) VBox is a 'virtualization application' that emulates the HW of a PC, allowing you to run one operating system, and their processes, inside another operating system. We expect that in LCOM you'll develop most of your code for Minix using a Minix image on a virtual machine (VM), more precisely VirtualBox, VBox for short.
