Where to FIND Shared Directory?

Shared directory that is used to transfer files/projects between host OS (MacOS on ARM-based Mac) and Ubuntu Linux virtual machine hosted on Multipass can be found in MacOS under ~/Public/VMsf-22_04. Please note that ~ (tilde) is a "shortcut" to denote a respective user's home directory on both MacOS and Linux (and other Unix-based OSes).

Troubleshooting (Follow this if you run into some issues)

If the application to run Eclipse fails, you will need the IP Address of the Multipass Instance Type in following command in terminal to retrieve the ip address.

multipass list

It should give you and output similar to following. (Ip-address might be different on your machine!)

Take a note of Ip-Address under IPv4 (In my case it is 192.168.65.21)

Now, just type in following command to finally start eclipse application.

DO NOT FORGET TO replace with your Ip-Address in place of "192.168.65.21" in following command

ssh -Y ubunutu@192.168.65.21 /home/ubuntu/eclipse/eclipse

You will need to type 'yes' and then press enter.
