Need to install Firefox browser on Hortonworks Sandbox virtual machine (HDP 2.4) running in Virtual Box 5.0.16

I am new to Hadoop and the Big Data world...

I have installed the Hortonworks Sandbox VM in Virtual Box. It's working great...

Can someone tell me how to install Firefox within the VM? I need it to use NIFI

Thanks a lot for any help!

Installing a browser on the VM and using it through VNC will typically be very slow. The best option is to set up an SSH Tunnel and do a local forward. If you use the PuTTy ssh client on windows then you can follow the following instructions on setting up the local forward which will allow you to use your browser on the host operating system to connect to the NIFI instance running in your VM.
