Imran: In this video,
we will go ahead and create a virtual machine
on our virtualization software.
So we have our laptop
or desktop running either Windows or Mac.
We installed virtualization software,
and we picked either VMware Player or Oracle VirtualBox.
Now it's time to create a virtual machine
on these virtualization software.
So we will go with Oracle VirtualBox.
This is the Oracle VirtualBox software
that we will be using throughout this course.
Okay, so now let's go ahead
and start up our Oracle VirtualBox software.
You could click on your Start Search Menu
and simply type Oracle,
and it will match anything that comes up
with Oracle application.
So we only have one Oracle application,
which is Oracle VM VirtualBox.
Go ahead and select this.
Click on it,
and it will start up the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager.
So let's go ahead and click on New.
Right here, the very first option is to define name
and operating system.
So pick a name for your virtual machine.
This is not the name
of your Linux operating system host name.
The host name,
we will define later during the installation.
This is just the name of the virtual machine.
Here, the folder where it's going to save the files
and directory for that virtual machine,
you will leave that default.
The ISO Image is not selected
because we have not downloaded
the operating system as an image yet,
so we will leave that as is.
Type here is Microsoft Windows
because we have not picked any operating system yet.
So right now, let's go back and type it in,
the name that you wanted to pick for your operating system.
I would suggest that you pick myfirstlinuxvm.
It's just a name, but look at that.
The Oracle VirtualBox software is smart enough
that as soon as you typed in Linux,
it actually matched the type of the operating system.
It picked the Linux for you.
If you think that's not the right one,
you could definitely go in
and change to any operating system of your choice,
which you are installing.
But, of course, we are going with Linux,
so we're gonna leave that as is.
Then the version, it's gonna pick the most recent version,
which is 5.x 64 bit.
You could pick a different version
depending on if you're going with Debian,
or if you're going with Oracle VirtualBox,
Red Hat, or anything or any flavor.
But for now, we'll leave this one as is.
The next option is Unattended install.
Leave that as is for now.
Then the next one, expand on the Hardware.
In the hardware,
the very first option is Base Memory,
which is the RAM of your virtual machine.
This is, again,
just like as if you are building your computer from scratch,
as if you are on assembly line,
you're putting the parts inside of your computer.
All right, by default it's giving us one gig,
which is 1024 megabyte.
We are gonna change to 2 gigabytes,
sliding this over to 2048.
Processor, by default, one CPU.
We could leave that as is.
We could change it anytime afterwards as well.
Now the next, the last option is Hard Disk.
Expand on that.
And it's giving us the hard disk by default as 8 gig.
We are gonna change that to 20 gig.
You could change it to 40 gig, 60 gig,
depending on the disk
that you have available on your host computer.
But again, for this video or for this training,
20 gig is more than enough.
We'll change that to 20 gig.
The rest, we leave that as is and default
and click on Finish.
Now here you have your virtual machine is created.
The name is right here, and it's powered off.
If you look on the right-hand side,
these are all the information that is associated
or resources that are assigned to your virtual machine.
One thing you have to do is go to Setting
and click on Network.
And right here it says,
"Enable Network Adapter, Attached to: NAT."
I want you to change it to Bridged Adapter.
The reason I'm asking you to do this now,
because when you will be installing
Linux operating system later on,
it will automatically detect the network
or your Wi-Fi network,
and you could connect to the internet.
All right, so that's pretty much it.
Click on OK.
There you go,
so now your virtual machine is ready.
And now you could download the ISO image
of your Linux operating system,
which we will do it in the next lessons,
and we will attach that to this virtual machine
and go through the Linux operating system installation.
But now, if you are using VMware Workstation Player,
then you could stick around,
and I'll show you how you could create a virtual machine
in VMware Workstation.
So here you have the main homepage on the console.
Simply click on Create a New Virtual Machine.
you have install from three options.
Just pick, I will install the operating system later.
Click next.
The guest operating system, Linux,
and pick the version from the dropdown.
You're gonna see you're gonna find a lot of distribution.
You could pick any Linux distribution from this list.
What we are learning here is the Linux operating system.
We are not learning CentOS, Debian,
Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu or anything.
So our main focus is Linux.
So anyway, you can pick anything.
Let's say if you decided to pick CentOS 9,
sorry, CentOS 7,
you could simply pick this one.
And if you're going with CentOS 9,
it's not in the list.
You see it's not in the list.
And you could come here
and simply pick other Linux 5.x kernel 64-bit.
So that would perfectly work with CentOS Stream.
So anyway, for CentOS 7, simply click on this one.
Click Next.
This is the name of the virtual machine, mylinuxvm.
Click Next.
All right, minimum disk size, 20.
So if you're going with 7,
you could change it to 10 if you want to,
but if you're going with a higher version, leave it 20.
But the more disk you have, the better it is.
Store virtual disk as a single file,
yes, select that one.
Click Next.
All right, customization of the hardware.
Before you click Finish,
let's click on Customization Hardware.
I want you to go to Network Adapter right here,
and as you can see,
this is the same setting
that we had in Oracle VirtualBox.
Let's go ahead and change to Bridge Adapter.
Click Close.
All right, so click on Finish.
Perfect, so you see your virtual machine
now has been created.
Now in our next video,
you'll go ahead
and download the ISO image of our Linux operating system
and it'll come back to these virtual machine,
attached ISO image to these virtual machine,
and go through the installation.
