Share a folder between guest and host

If you want to have a shared folder between your machine and the VM so that it's easier to transfer files during the tutorial, you have to do this before starting the VM. Follow ​these instructions. We have tried these instructions with Mac and Ubuntu. In Ubuntu the folder will be read-only for the guest VM.
