1. Ubuntu Image
Download link:
Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS (Trusty Tahr)
Place the downloaded image file in a unified directory, as shown below:
This is the image we just downloaded. For our experiments, we will use the server version (server) image. In this exercise, we will use the Ubuntu desktop version (desktop) image.
2. Preparation for Virtual Machine Installation
Before installing the virtual machine, create a folder named ‘vm’ (virtual machine) on the D drive, and then create two subfolders within the ‘vm’ directory: one named ‘vm’ and the other ‘vmdk’. Inside the ‘vm’ subfolder, create a folder for the virtual machine installation (to store virtual machine files), and in the ‘vmdk’ folder, create another folder (named after the virtual machine). As shown below:
The virtual machine is named UbuntuTest
Vmdk file
When preparing, be sure to pay attention to the naming and location of the virtual machine folders.
