k3OS installation for x86_64 devices using an ISO image

We are going to install k3OS in a VM created using VirtualBox and an ISO image for a x86_64 architecture using a Macintosh. To do this, follow these steps:

Download the k3OS x86_64 v0.20.7 ISO image from this link:

https://github.com/rancher/k3os/releases

Open your VirtualBox. The main window will appear, as shown in the following screenshot:
