32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,320 And then it's going to start to download what's called a disk image file to my computer. 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,050 Now I'm going to click, I'm going to save it in the downloads folder for myself. 34 00:01:52,050 --> 00:01:55,830 You can download it wherever you want and you'll notice that a download starts to begin. 35 00:01:55,830 --> 00:02:01,380 Now these ISO files used to be usually tend to be quite large, usually on the order of gigabytes. 36 00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:04,590 So you can see here that this is 1.4 gigabytes in size. 37 00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:07,890 So this might take quite a while depending on how quick your Internet is. 38 00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:10,110 Now, I'm going to have to wait for that to go ahead and download. 39 00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:14,970 So what I'm going to do is I'm going to cut the video here and I'm going to come back when it is downloaded. 40 00:02:14,970 --> 00:02:15,990 So just be patient with this. 41 00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:18,000 You won't ever have to really do it again. 42 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,740 So once it's done, it's done. 43 00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:24,060 So just wait for that thing to download and then unpause the video to follow through with the rest of 44 00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:24,750 the setup. 45 00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:25,950 Okay. 46 00:02:25,950 --> 00:02:31,920 So the download has gone and completed and now I can go ahead and install the virtual machine. 47 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:36,690 So you can see that we've got this disk image file saved in my downloads folder. 48 00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:39,630 And with that there we're going to go ahead and open up a virtual box. 49 00:02:39,630 --> 00:02:45,180 Now with virtual box, this is where you can set up virtual machines to to run and you can have more 50 00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:45,630 than one. 51 00:02:45,630 --> 00:02:47,730 So we're just going to create a new virtual machine. 52 00:02:47,730 --> 00:02:54,450 I'm going to call it a bunter because I am imaginative and call it and you can see it's found the type 53 00:02:54,450 --> 00:03:00,060 which is Linux and a 1 to 64 bit which is which is what my one was. 54 00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:04,320 If yours was a 32 bit download, then go ahead and click open to 32 bit. 55 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,540 But I think by default it should be a 64 bit. 56 00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:07,920 So I'll leave it at that. 57 00:03:07,950 --> 00:03:13,080 Now I'm going to hit next and it's going to ask me for the amount of memory or ram in megabytes to be 58 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,490 allocated to the virtual machine. 59 00:03:14,490 --> 00:03:20,220 Now, an important thing to note is here that this is only allocated when the virtual machine is running. 60 00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:26,520 When you turn the virtual when you close the virtual machine, it will it will be given back to the 61 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,450 host computer. 62 00:03:27,450 --> 00:03:29,550 So don't worry about this too much. 63 00:03:29,550 --> 00:03:30,870 Just give it a generous amount. 64 00:03:30,870 --> 00:03:36,570 So let's say up to a let's say about three quarters or 80% of the green distance. 65 00:03:36,570 --> 00:03:41,310 You don't want to go all the way up to here because this might make your system stutter a bit and jitter 66 00:03:41,310 --> 00:03:41,520 a bit. 67 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:47,070 So just take it most of the way up to the green, to the end of the green, but not all the way. 68 00:03:47,070 --> 00:03:48,510 So leave some buffer room there. 69 00:03:48,510 --> 00:03:50,640 Okay, so I'm going to leave it at that. 70 00:03:50,650 --> 00:03:51,240 Just do it by. 71 00:03:51,450 --> 00:03:52,710 It isn't a perfect science. 72 00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:53,700 Just go ahead and do it. 73 00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:57,210 By then it's going to ask you about a hard disk. 74 00:03:57,210 --> 00:04:02,760 Now, what you've got to imagine is that this virtual machine is thinks that it's a computer, okay? 75 00:04:02,790 --> 00:04:04,800 And a computer needs a hard drive space. 76 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,190 Okay. 77 00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:09,690 So what we're doing is we're creating an imaginary hard drive that this virtual box is going to this 78 00:04:09,690 --> 00:04:15,360 virtual machine is going to think is a real hard drive, but it's actually just a file saved on our 79 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,320 actual computer. 80 00:04:16,649 --> 00:04:21,450 So what we going to do is we're going to create a virtual hard disk now, so let's create it and it 81 00:04:21,450 --> 00:04:22,920 says, What type do you want it to be? 82 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,280 Just leave it as the first option, a virtual box disk image, leave it just like that. 83 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,030 And then it's going to say, do you want it to be do you want the file? 84 00:04:30,030 --> 00:04:38,070 A data to be dynamically allocated or fixed size dynamically allocated means that when when the data 85 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:43,620 fills up on that imaginary hard drive, the file will get bigger and fixed size means that the file 86 00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:46,380 will be that size no matter what, even if it's basically empty. 87 00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:52,350 Now, for efficiency sake, let's just have it dynamically allocated and then you can call it whatever 88 00:04:52,350 --> 00:04:58,170 you want and store it wherever you want by clicking this this arrow here to change where you want to 89 00:04:58,170 --> 00:04:58,530 save it. 90 00:04:58,530 --> 00:04:59,820 But just leave it as the default. 91 00:04:59,820 --> 00:05:05,520 If you if you're not particularly first and it doesn't really matter massively how much size you give 92 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,440 it, I tend to just give mine 20 gigabytes. 93 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,760 That's usually more than enough. 94 00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:14,040 But you can you can just choose what's alright for you it's you know, as long as you've got something 95 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,970 above one or two gigabytes you're, you should be absolutely fine. 96 00:05:18,330 --> 00:05:25,050 So, so I'm just going to have 20 gigabytes there as an imaginary hard disk and I'm going to click create. 97 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,330 Okay. 98 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,270 So we're almost there now. 99 00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:28,530 We're very, very close. 100 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,890 We've got to do is click on settings to set up a few more things. 101 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,740 So to make sure that our to make sure that our virtual machine has just a bit more power. 102 00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:43,080 What we're going to do is we're going to click on settings, go to system and click processor the processor 103 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,390 tab and increase this to two cores if you have them. 104 00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:52,290 So two processors or up to the end of the green here. 105 00:05:52,290 --> 00:05:57,780 So what I'm going to do that just basically allows the virtual machine to just have that bit more performance, 106 00:05:57,810 --> 00:05:58,110 okay. 107 00:05:58,260 --> 00:06:03,480 And everything else should be the same, except when you click on storage, there's one final thing 108 00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:03,960 to do. 109 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:11,880 So on storage, this is where we're going to basically insert that disk image so that you can imagine 110 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:17,190 the imaginary computer booting from that that abundant image into a real computer. 111 00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:19,620 It's a bit confusing, but just just follow with me. 112 00:06:19,650 --> 00:06:20,760 Just click on storage. 113 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,900 Then you'll see this bit here where it says controller ID and it will have a disk that says empty. 114 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,780 So click that, then click on this disk at the top, right click that. 115 00:06:30,780 --> 00:06:33,810 And it's all say, choose virtual optical disk file. 116 00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:34,740 So let's click that. 117 00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:41,400 Then we'll go to my downloads folder and click a ribbon to 17.10 disk image that we downloaded or whatever 118 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,090 disk image version that you downloaded, you're open to version click open. 119 00:06:45,090 --> 00:06:47,850 And now that's, that's all set up click. 120 00:06:47,850 --> 00:06:48,540 Okay. 121 00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:51,540 And we're basically all good to go. 122 00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:54,150 So that's all set up in Ready to Go. 123 00:06:54,150 --> 00:06:59,130 And in the next video, we're going to run you through the final bit of the installation which is setting 124 00:06:59,130 --> 00:07:03,480 up the the actual Ubuntu machine when it boots up. 125 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,750 So for all that goodness, I'll see you in the next video.
