Please add guide about starting method of machine installed through this script. I installed machine through this script but i am unable to see it in my Virtual box VMs. After installation it opened automatically, but after rebooting my host machine, I am unable to see it in my Virtual box. How I can start it?Moreover if I want to increase it's RAM after installation is it possible?Host OS is Ubuntu.

This usually happens when the script is run with elevated privileges (with sudo or the root user for example) and then when VirtualBox GUI is launched from a different user it cannot access the VM. If that's the case, move the VM disk image from its elevated-privileges location to a user-accessible location, then manually create a virtual machine and manually configure it (or configure it with the configure_vm stage from the script) and manually attach the existing virtual disk image.
