Project Setup
- Visit the VirtualBox Site, and click on "Download".
You should then be redirected to this page, where you can click "Windows Hosts" to begin the download of the VirtualBox Installer.
- Once the download is complete, launch the installer and follow the instructions provided by the wizard.
- Now, download the Ubuntu 22.04 from the Ubuntu Site
- Once everything is done installing, open up VirtualBox and click on the "New" button to begin configuring your VM
We should then be sent to this menu, and select the following:
- OS: Linux
- OS Distribution: Ubuntu
- OS Version: Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish
- Add an ISO File in the "ISO Image" input, and give your VM a name.
- Change the default credentials, as if you don't Ubuntu will create a default account without "sudo" permissions.
- Allocate as much memory as possible, as well as some CPU cores for your VM.
- Allocate approximately 35GB of storage for your VM to use, then click "Finish".
- Go to Settings > Network, and change the adapter to “Bridged Adapter” to allow the VM to communicate with your local network
- Now that everything is set up, you can select and start your VM. If everything's working as intended, then it should look like this!
- Click on the dotted-grid button in the bottom-left to open the "App Drawer". Search for the terminal and run "ping google.com" to test your connectivity... If you get a response, then it works!
