01 - Linux On VM

This document provides an overview of setting up Linux on a virtual machine. It discusses: - The key characteristics of Linux, including being open-source, having routine updates, and using command line interfaces. - Common Linux distributions (distros) like Ubuntu, Fedora, and CentOS that can be used for different purposes. - How to set up a virtual machine using VMware Workstation, which involves installing the software, creating a new VM, selecting the guest OS, and finishing the installation process. - The steps to install a specific Linux distro in the VMware virtual machine once it is set up.

SESSION 1
SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT
Ivan Sebastian Edbert
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this session, the student will be expected to :

• Able to explain about Linux Programming Language

• Able to set up Linux on VMware


OUTLINE

• Linux

• Linux Distro (Distribution Software)

• Setting up Virtual Machine


LINUX

4
LINUX

• An open-source operating system

• Well known for its heavy usage of command line interface (terminal),
however graphical user interface is available

• Has many customization as shown in variety of distros


CHARACTERISTICS

• Linux is open source, meaning the source code is freely available and can
be modified and redistributed. The modifications result in lots of distros.

• Linux does have routine update – it’s easy and quick to finish the update

• Linux is well known for its security, stability, and reliability, which is why
enterprises use Linux

• Linux and its distros have their own active communities and forums
CHARACTERISTICS

• Command line interface (CLI) is a powerful feature that allows user to do


variety of tasks

• Graphical user interface (GUI) is also provided, with popular environment


that provides are GNOME, KDE, Plasma, and Cinnamon
LINUX DISTRIBUTION SOFTWARE (DISTROS)

Distros are modification of Linux that is built based on Linux kernel. They
are all different operating system and serve different purposes. Each is
managed by their own respective community. Choose one according to the
needs.

SETTIP UP VIRTUAL MACHINE

SETTING UP VIRTUAL MACHINE

Virtual Machine (VM) can be used to boot Linux. It is easy to set up, ideal
for learning and testing. For this, we will use VMware Workstation. First, we
will set up the workstation player.
SETTING UP VIRTUAL MACHINE

1. When the installation wizard opens, select the option to create new
virtual machines

2. Choose the default option, that is the Installer disc image file (ISO). It
is best to do it this way to prevent anything wrong from happening
during the installation. If you cannot find the ISO file, look for it using
the browse option
SETTING UP VIRTUAL MACHINE

3. Select ‘guest OS’ and move to the next step

4. Select Linux as the type of guest operating system

5. Select the version of the OS from the list

6. Click on the next option to move to the next step, and key in the
name of the virtual machine

7. Confirm the location where the OS files need to be saved and let the
installation wizard complete the process
SETTING UP VIRTUAL MACHINE

After setting up the workstation player, virtual machine needs to be built.

1. Choose the maximum disk size from the option to select the specific
disk capacity. You can stick to the default if you want to

2. You can also choose to split the virtual disk into multiple segments. It
is recommended to do this since you can move the virtual machine
easily onto your new system

3. Once you are happy with the details, you should confirm them and
move onto the next step

4. Click finish to install your virtual machine.


LINUX ON VMWARE

1. First, customize the VM according to the distro’s requirements.


Reboot after that.

2. Install the necessary VMware tools, which will be offered by the


installation wizard

3. Launch the VM and boot the ISO to proceed with the installation

4. Run the distro by clicking play button on the system


ASSIGNMENT

Install your preferred Linux distro in your


VMware
