00:01 Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Installing Ubuntu Linux OS in a VirtualBox.
00:08 In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Ubuntu Linux 16.04 in a VirtualBox on a Windows base machine.
00:18 This tutorial is recorded using Windows OS version 10,
00:23 VirtualBox version 5.2.18,
00:27 Ubuntu Linux 16.04 OS.
00:31 Before we begin, please make sure that you are connected to the internet.
00:36 To install an OS inside a VirtualBox, the base machine should have the following configuration.
00:43 i3 processor or higher,
00:46 RAM 4GB or higher,
00:49 Hard disk free space 50GB or more and
00:54 Virtualization should be enabled on BIOS.
00:58 This will ensure that the VirtualBox will work smoothly.
01:03 Before we start installing, kindly cross-check whether the System type is 32-bit or 64-bit.
01:12 To do so, go to the search box next to the Start menu. Type About your PC.
01:22 Select About your PC.
01:25 Under System type, we can see whether we are running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows.
01:34 Here, in my case, it is 64-bit Windows.
01:39 Based on your System type, download the suitable Ubuntu Linux 16.04 ISO from this link:

http colon double slash releases dot ubuntu dot com slash 16.04

01:59 For 32-bit, it will be:

ubuntu hyphen 16.04.5 hyphen desktop hyphen i386 dot iso

02:12 For 64-bit, it will be:

ubuntu hyphen 16.04.5 hyphen desktop hyphen amd64 dot iso

02:26 As mentioned earlier, my Windows System type is 64-bit.
02:31 Hence, I have downloaded the ubuntu hyphen 16.04.5 hyphen desktop hyphen amd64.iso file for this demonstration.
02:45 First, we will learn how to create a virtual machine inside the VirtualBox.
02:52 On the Desktop, double-click on the VirtualBox icon to launch it.
02:59 At the top of the VirtualBox window, locate the blue color icon New and click on it.
03:06 In the Create Virtual Machine window which opens, we can see the page Name and Operating system.
03:14 Under the Name text box, type the name you wish to give.

I will type Ubuntu.

03:22 Then under the drop-down Type, select Linux.
03:27 From the drop-down Version, I will select Ubuntu (64-bit).
03:33 In case your base machine is 32-bit, then select Ubuntu (32-bit) from the drop-down.
03:40 And, click on the Next button at the bottom of the window.
03:44 The next page is Memory size.

Here, we allocate the size of the RAM for the virtual machine.

03:52 Use the slider or the text-box to allocate the size for the RAM.
03:58 Since the unit says MB, I will type 4048 in the text-box.
04:05 This will allocate 4GB of RAM to this virtual machine.
04:11 If the system memory of the base machine is only 4GB, then allocate 2GB for the virtual machine.
04:19 Now, click on the Next button at the bottom of the window.
04:24 On the Hard disk page, we have to decide which type of virtual hard disk we are going to use.
04:32 I’m creating a new virtual machine. So, I will select Create a virtual hard disk now.
04:39 This option could be already selected by default for you.
04:44 Click on the Create button at the bottom.
04:48 In the Hard disk file type, select VDI (Virtual Disk Image).

And, click on the Next button at the bottom of the window.

04:59 In the next page, Storage on physical hard disk, we have to decide how our hard disk storage has to be.

There are two options here.

05:11 Dynamically allocated option will expand the hard disk storage based on the usage.
05:19 Fixed Size will allocate the size which we define.

I will choose Fixed size.

05:27 Now click on the Next button to proceed.
05:31 The next page File location and size, is to allocate the hard disk size.
05:38 Here you can see the name Ubuntu which we gave earlier.
05:44 Also, to the right we can see a folder icon.
05:48 If you wish to save this Virtual Disk Image in another location, click on this icon and proceed.

I’m skipping this part for this demonstration.

06:02 Next use the slider or the textbox to allocate the hard disk size.
06:09 The recommended size is 10GB but I will change it to 20GB.
06:16 Then, click on the Create button at the bottom.
06:20 This will create a new Virtual Machine base with the details we have provided so far.

This may take some time to create.

06:31 Once the Virtual Machine is created, we can see it on the left side.
06:37 Here is the Virtual Machine, Ubuntu, which we created just now.
06:42 This indicates that we have successfully created the Virtual Machine that is the VM.
06:49 Next, let us install Ubuntu Linux 16.04 on it.
06:55 By default, the Virtual Machine will be in Power off mode.
07:00 Select the Virtual Machine, Ubuntu.

Then at the top, click on the Start button with the green color arrow.

07:09 A new window will pop up and ask us to select the virtual optical disk file or a physical optical drive.

Locate the folder icon and click on it.

07:22 Now, browse and select the file ubuntu hyphen 16.04.5 hyphen desktop hyphen amd64.iso which we had downloaded earlier.
07:37 And, click on the Open button at the bottom.
07:41 Now we will be redirected to the previous screen.

Notice that ubuntu hyphen 16.04.5 hyphen desktop hyphen amd64.iso is now selected.

07:56 Click on the Start button at the bottom to start the installation.
08:02 We can see here that Ubuntu Linux is loading.
08:07 The first screen we see, has three options.
08:11 On the left, we can see a list of languages.

Select the language that you prefer.

08:18 By default, English is selected. I will leave this selection as it is.
08:25 At the center we can see two options, Try Ubuntu and Install Ubuntu.
08:31 If you wish to try the look and feel of Ubuntu before installing, click on Try Ubuntu.
08:38 Else, directly click on Install Ubuntu.

I will click on the option Install Ubuntu.

08:47 The next page shows two options.

Downloading update while installing Ubuntu

And, Installing some third-party software during the installation.

09:00 I will skip these and click on Continue button at the bottom.
09:05 The third page is one of the important steps during Ubuntu Linux installation.

Here, we have to decide where we are going to install Ubuntu Linux.

09:18 Something else.

This is a good option if we are installing Ubuntu on our machine directly, without VirtualBox.

09:28 With this option we can have a dual boot OS in our base machine.
09:34 As I’m working on a VirtualBox, I will select Erase disk and install Ubuntu.
09:41 This option will erase the entire Virtual hard disk and install Ubuntu OS as a single partition.
09:49 Then click on Install Now button at the bottom.
09:53 A pop-up window Write the changes to the disks? opens.
09:59 Here, click on Continue button.
10:03 Next comes the page- Where are you?

I am in India, so I will click on India.

10:11 In the text-box located below, it says Kolkata.

Based on our selection, it will set the time zone.

10:21 Click on Continue at the bottom.
10:24 Now, we have to select our Keyboard layout.
10:28 By default, English (US) will be selected on both the sides.
10:34 If you wish to change the language, then select the desired option.

I will proceed with English (US).

10:42 Click on the Continue button at the bottom.
10:46 The final step is to provide the login details.

I will fill the Your name field as spoken.

10:55 Immediately, the fields Computer’s name and Pick a username will be filled based on our input.

You can change these values if you wish.

11:07 Next, in the Choose a password text-box, type the password for your Ubuntu Linux OS.

I will type spoken.

11:18 In the Confirm your password text-box, retype the same password.
11:24 Kindly note down this password, as this is the admin password for this Ubuntu Linux OS.
11:32 Below the password textbox, we can see some more options.

I will select Require my password to login.

11:42 This will insist that the user enters the password every time he/she logs in.
11:49 Click on Continue to proceed with the installation.
11:53 The installation may take some time to complete.
11:58 Once the installation is complete, we can see a dialog-box that says Installation Complete.
12:06 In that dialog box, click on Restart Now button.
12:11 A screen appears saying that Ubuntu is loading.

It will prompt us to press Enter to remove the installation medium.

12:20 For eg: CD/USB Stick etc.

Press Enter on your keyboard.

12:28 This will start this Virtual Machine and take us to the login page.
12:34 Login with the details which we gave during the installation.
12:39 We are brought to the Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop.

This indicates that we have successfully completed the installation.

12:49 To shut down Ubuntu, click on the power icon at the top right corner.

And, select Shut Down option.

12:58 In the popup which appears, click on the large Shut Down button.
13:04 Immediately, the Ubuntu window gets closed and we are back to the VirtualBox manager.
13:11 With this, we come to the end of this tutorial.

Let us summarize.
