How do I install bridge-utils without a network?

[javacom]

I think you can install packages in the existing Ubuntu vm via the NAT for outgoing traffic. If not, you did not set it up properly in the first place and is not the problem of this vftool.

For my is not working as well. What could I have done wrong?

Ok I end up using the port forwarding on macOS similar to the win10 wsl2 to port forward from the os to the ipaddress of the vm. Just like I created a radpberrypios image as vm as in

I created the VM with vnc server installed. Set the vm fixed ip address of 192.168.64.10 and in macOS host I do the port forwarding to the ipaddress and port number of the vm using this script. Then other machines on the LAN can vnc connect to the vm through the ipaddress of the macOS host with port 5910.

`echo " rdr pass on lo0 inet proto tcp from any to self port 5910 -> 192.168.64.10 port 5901

rdr pass on en0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 5910 -> 192.168.64.10 port 5901

rdr pass on wlan0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 5910 -> 192.168.64.10 port 5901
