<title>Create a box</title>
<p>When <app>Boxes</app> is launched, the collection view opens, displaying
your existing boxes. If you haven't yet created a box, an introductory
message is displayed.</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Click <gui style="button">New</gui> in the top left corner to launch
the box creation wizard.</p></item>
<item><p>At the wizard's <gui>Source Selection</gui> screen, choose a source
to determine the type of box you want to create. A local virtual machine
can be created from:</p>
<list>
<item><p>An ISO found by <app>Boxes</app>.</p></item>
<item><p>Installation media on a CD/DVD/USB drive.</p></item>
<item><p>A local ISO file (if not found automatically above).</p></item>
<item><p>A URL to a <link xref="connect">remote</link> machine.</p></item>
</list>
<note style="important">
<p>If your installation media supports <gui>Express Installation</gui>,
the installation will proceed without further input.</p>
</note>
</item>
<item><p>After making your selection, or providing the necessary
information, click <gui style="button">Continue</gui>, which will take you to
the <gui>Review</gui> page.</p></item>
<item><p>If the box is local, click <gui style="button">Customize</gui> to
adjust memory or disk size, or to rename the box.</p></item>
<item><p>Click <gui style="button">Create</gui>.</p></item>
</steps>
<p>The collection view returns, and the installation of the box begins.</p>
