I don't have a Linux machine to test it.
  1. Download a CD/DVD installer ISO image from https://www.debian.org/ (or use any other x86/x86-64 Linux you like)
  2. Download and install Virtualbox
  3. Create a VM
  4. Set the VM network interface to bridge mode with your real network interface if you use wired network, use NAT if you use Wifi
  5. Insert the ISO image into the virtual optical drive of the VM
  6. Run the Linux installer

To install debian, the netinstall image should be sufficient. It will download every package beyond the basic installation from the network.
