Alternately, you can download a single file from;

https://neverware.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/214564457–UPDATED-Un-Official-CloudReady-Virtual-Machine-Images-

or specifically a CloudReady Chrome OS for Virtual Box from;

Another (a bit risky) way is to search for this file on Google and download it;

CloudReady_Free_x64_Virtualbox.ova (1.09 GB in size)

A download link for CloudReady Chrome OS file (an older version) for Virtual Box (if working);

You can also try a console-based tool to convert the downloaded Chromiums OS image .bin file into .vdi by using this command;

“c:\program files\oracle\virtualbox\VBoxManage.exe” convertfromraw “C:\Users\MyName\Downloads\cloudready-free-45.3.39.bin\chromiumos_image.bin” cloudready.vdi

Next, download and install Oracle VirtualBox from;

https://www.virtualbox.org/

Start Virtual Box and use these Virtual Box for Chrome OS settings when setting up a new instance;
