1. Check that you are a member of the following groups

   ```bash whoami #see what my username is groups #see what groups I belong to groups idealab #see what groups idealab belongs to sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER # adds user idealab to group dialout sudo usermod -aG tty $USER # adds user idealab to group dialout

   Other defaults -- these may be necessary or already given by default.

   sudo usermod -aG adm $USER sudo usermod -aG cdrom $USER sudo usermod -aG sudo $USER sudo usermod -aG dip $USER sudo usermod -aG plugdev $USER sudo usermod -aG lpadmin $USER sudo usermod -aG sambashare $USER ```

   bash sudo groupadd vboxusers #create group vboxusers sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER #adds user idealab to group vboxusers
