## If You Use Virtual Machines For Building
If you plan to build electron on a virtual machine, you will need a fixed-size
device container of at least 25 gigabytes in size. The default disk sizes
suggested by VirtualBox are much too small. You will risk running out of space.
If creating a Ubuntu virtual machine under VirtualBox, do not partition the
disk using LVM, which is the Ubuntu installer default. Instead do all
partitioning with ext4 which is offered as an alternative to LVM. This way
if your vdi container does run out of space, you can use VirtualBox and gparted
utilities to increase the container size without needing to resize
LVM Volume Groups as an additional task. You may never have a need for LVM
in a virtual machine.
