1 00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:04,665 You in this lesson you'll 2 00:00:04,665 --> 00:00:08,669 learn how to install Ubuntu. 3 00:00:09,669 --> 00:00:14,140 So the requirements? Well, you need to first download the latest version of ubuntu 4 00:00:14,140 --> 00:00:18,609 LTS from ubuntu.com or one of the in between versions if you prefer. 5 00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:20,339 I'll show you in a bit. 6 00:00:21,690 --> 00:00:24,910 Then you install in a virtual machine or on hardware if you prefer. 7 00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:30,760 The minimal requirements for RAM for Ubuntu are a little bit lower. 8 00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:35,020 That's one gig of RAM and 10 gigs of disk space. 9 00:00:35,780 --> 00:00:38,280 And a second disk will be needed later in class. 10 00:00:39,259 --> 00:00:41,979 So if you want to install Ubuntu, you need to download it. 11 00:00:42,820 --> 00:00:47,820 To do so you go to the products and then you select the Ubuntu Desktop product. 12 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,359 And in the Ubuntu Desktop product there is the option to click Download Ubuntu Desktop. 13 00:00:55,369 --> 00:00:59,649 Now, when you download Ubuntu Desktop, you really need to know what you want to download. 14 00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:03,810 The default version is the long term support version. 15 00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:09,564 Long term support versions are added every two years and they are supported for at least 16 00:01:09,564 --> 00:01:14,629 five years and based on the support contacts that you take, might even be longer. 17 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,909 If that's okay for you. 18 00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:21,230 Just click Download the LTS version and you will be alright. 19 00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:27,534 Now it happens to be that I'm on macOS using apple silicon and that 20 00:01:27,534 --> 00:01:32,840 means that the default 2404 long term support version doesn't work for me. 21 00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:40,480 That's because this default version is offering support for intel and on macOS Apple silicon. 22 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,914 I have an ARM processor and that means that I 23 00:01:44,914 --> 00:01:48,829 need the 2410 version that is supported for ARM. 24 00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:54,926 The easiest way to get there is by googling for 25 00:01:54,926 --> 00:02:00,243 download Ubuntu 24.10 ARM 64 and that will bring you 26 00:02:00,243 --> 00:02:05,560 to cdimage.ubuntu.com where you can find the ARM architecture. 27 00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:09,884 And that's what I'm going to need. So this is what I'm clicking and that 28 00:02:09,884 --> 00:02:13,589 will start downloading. And once it is downloaded I can install in a virtual machine. 29 00:02:15,669 --> 00:02:19,349 So now that I've downloaded Ubuntu, I can start installing it. 30 00:02:19,930 --> 00:02:26,063 To do so in VMware Fusion, I need install from Discord Image and I click Continue and 31 00:02:26,063 --> 00:02:32,196 then either using the use another disk or disk image link or by using the list of 32 00:02:32,196 --> 00:02:38,330 files that I can see here, I can select the image that I want to use. 33 00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:45,960 So here we go. This is the image. So I'm selecting it. Click Continue and then we have the properties of the virtual machine. 34 00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:53,539 So this is using a capacity of 20 gigs for the hard disk and 4 gigs for the memory and 2 CPU 35 00:02:53,539 --> 00:02:59,919 cores. And you know what works perfectly for me? So let's just click Finish and give it a name before we continue. 36 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,969 So the installer has now started, and in the installer I need to click Try or Install Ubuntu. 37 00:03:10,669 --> 00:03:13,069 And this is going to boot up the Ubuntu Live system. 38 00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:18,990 That will take one or two minutes to complete and then we can start installing it. 39 00:03:23,169 --> 00:03:28,610 Ubuntu Desktop by default comes with a live system, and it means that you don't have to install it. You can also 40 00:03:28,610 --> 00:03:34,050 just give it a try. And if you don't like it, you have not changed anything on your computer hard disk. 41 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,090 That's not the mission here. The mission here is to actually install it. 42 00:03:38,750 --> 00:03:42,800 We need to go through a couple of options, including the selection of the language. 43 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,400 Then I don't need specific accessibility options. 44 00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:53,806 You need to select your keyboard layout and what you want to do to connect 45 00:03:53,806 --> 00:03:59,433 to the Internet in my virtual machine. And that's typical for virtual machines. I'm selecting 46 00:03:59,433 --> 00:04:05,060 Use Wired Connection, even if the laptop that I'm using is using a wireless connection. 47 00:04:06,439 --> 00:04:10,139 And then we have the option to either try or install Ubuntu. 48 00:04:10,990 --> 00:04:15,590 If you don't want to install and just give it a try, you select Try Ubuntu. But if 49 00:04:15,590 --> 00:04:20,189 you want to be able to do everything in this course, you rather go for Install Ubuntu. 50 00:04:20,769 --> 00:04:24,860 So let's select that and then go for the interactive installation. 51 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,240 Automated installation is nice, but that's for advanced users, so we don't need that. 52 00:04:32,069 --> 00:04:35,370 Next we have the default selection. And the default selection is okay. 53 00:04:36,569 --> 00:04:43,490 You can see the extended selection is using additional utilities, but you can always install these additional utilities later. 54 00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:48,750 Then I do recommend that you click these two options. 55 00:04:49,459 --> 00:04:52,899 That is install third party software for graphics and WI fi hardware. 56 00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:59,149 That is giving the better drivers for your graphical and network hardware. 57 00:05:00,029 --> 00:05:04,180 And also you might want to download and install support for additional media formats. 58 00:05:04,939 --> 00:05:09,144 If you ever want to play videos or other media content, it's 59 00:05:09,144 --> 00:05:13,350 best to have the largest amount of codecs that is available. 60 00:05:14,529 --> 00:05:19,779 Then you click Next and it's recommended to select Erase Disk and install Ubuntu. 61 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,225 This is a virtual machine, and on the virtual machine you created a file that is going 62 00:05:25,225 --> 00:05:29,970 to be used as disk. So there is nothing wrong with Erase Disk and Install Ubuntu. 63 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,860 If, however, you booted your Windows computer from the installation disk and you see this, well, 64 00:05:35,860 --> 00:05:40,720 there's a risk that you wipe everything on your system, but that doesn't apply here. 65 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:43,220 Then I need to create an account. 66 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,920 I'm going to use the name Student. It automatically generates a name, and 67 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,680 that is okay. I need to set a password for my user. 68 00:05:55,459 --> 00:05:58,139 It's a weak password, but that's not really important. 69 00:05:58,930 --> 00:06:02,850 Yes, we do want the password to be entered in order to log in. 70 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,394 There's also an option to use Active directory. Let's not use this option, because then you 71 00:06:08,394 --> 00:06:13,110 depend for your login on an external active directory that needs to be present somewhere. 72 00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:18,269 I don't have an active directory, so I'm clicking next and that will continue. 73 00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:25,110 You select your time zone, and after selecting your time zone, you get an overview of all your choices and 74 00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:30,790 then you can click Install and and that will start the installation procedure. This will take a few minutes. 75 00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:37,699 Okay, so now, at least 15 minutes later, the installation is 76 00:06:37,699 --> 00:06:42,609 done, and in order to start using it, click Restart now 77 00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:47,519 and that will reboot into your freshly installed Ubuntu system. 78 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,610 Do notice that you need to press Enter to remove the installation medium. 79 00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:57,829 That's a remainder from the old days when people were still installing Linux from optical disks. 80 00:07:00,370 --> 00:07:04,709 And here we can see that it is actually booting into the freshly installed system. 81 00:07:06,689 --> 00:07:11,455 If ever you want to see what's going on, if you're fast enough, press Escape so that you can 82 00:07:11,455 --> 00:07:16,220 see boot options. And if you're not fast enough, you can see the user account that you just created. 83 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,209 And if you think, hey, that looks like what we've seen in CentOS, that is right. 84 00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:28,170 The CentOS as well as Ubuntu are both using the GNOME graphical desktop interface. 85 00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:35,060 The appearance of the GNOME interface on Ubuntu is a little bit different, and you will learn more about that in the next lesson.
