That's it! The script will do the rest of the work for you. You're done setting up your first Linux node in a VM!

Whenever you power down a VM, shutdown the steem software within it first by pressing CTRL-C and waiting for it to finish
Then you can click 'X' on the VM window and shutdown
Once you power the VM up again and want to startup the node, simply type in:
cd ~/steem/programs/steemd && ./steemd

Please leave feedback in the comments, I'll be happy to update my scripts/guide for more functionality based on your feedback!
