Occasionally when you import an OVA file you will see errors. OVA files are supposed to be universal but as usual, things aren’t as simple as that.
ova regardless of what option you select here. The format options are all OVF, but OVA and OVF are the same things. VirtualBox will then create an OVA file which you can use in other VM software.
Next, you can edit the descriptive information on this screen or just hit Export.Then, confirm or edit the details on the next screen and then click Next again.
Now, select the virtual machine that you want to export and then click Next. It makes sense to allow the imported VM to have access to the maximum amount of resources so it can run faster. It is worth checking these settings as the machine that created the OVA file may have had fewer resources than the machine you’re importing to. If you don’t change them here, you can modify some of them later in the main Settings menu within VirtualBox. You can change some details but not others. When you select the OVA file to import, the main details of the VM appear in the center of the import box. Just let the setup process run until it’s finished. The procedure is fairly reliable, though, so it is safe to go have a coffee or something while it’s working. A previous Linux image took a mere ten minutes so you may or may not need to be patient waiting for VirtualBox to install the operating system on your virtual machine. I recently imported a new Mac OS image and it took over an hour. It may take a little while to import OVA files. Allow VirtualBox to import the file and then configure it for use. 
Make any changes if you need to in that center window. Now, select your OVA file in the import box and verify the settings in the center window. Open VirtualBox and select File > Import Appliance…. Download and install VirtualBox if you don’t have it already.
