Depends on what you are trying to install. You get them from the organization/company that makes them. Maybe you should be a little more clear on what it is you are trying to install.

If you want to install Ubuntu inside a VM, go to ubuntu.com, go to their download section and grab the ISO file from them. Then you can select that for use in the VM.
