Let's create Ubuntu environment with vmware
This article is for Code Polaris Advent Calendar 2020.
Nice to meet you, I'm Chisaki, who has been working for an IT company for 8 years. This doesn't mean that I'm particularly good at it, but I'm doing everything from programming to server maintenance like a pinch. (No experience upstream!)
In the first place
A few years ago, I wanted to create an LLVM environment and created an Ubuntu environment on my laptop. This time I saw Ubuntu featured on Nikkei Linux, so I decided to create it again (it seems to be an article).
What to prepare
--vmware Player (VMware Workstation 16 Player, which is a free version this time) --Ubuntu iso file (this time Ubuntu 20.10)
Since the iso file is large in size, it is recommended to download it first.
Ubuntu download
You can get the Japanese version from Ubuntu Japanese Community.
Download and install vmware
Download the installer from the vmware site (https://www.vmware.com/jp.html). The installation itself is OK if you follow the flow.
You will be asked if it is commercial at the first startup, but since it will not be used for commercial purposes, select the above option here.
VM creation
- Start vmware Player and click "Create New Virtual Machine" at the top.
- The Virtual Machine Wizard will launch and ask you about installing the OS.
This time, I downloaded the iso image in advance, so select the second one and specify the iso file.
- The Linux personalization screen will appear, so enter an appropriate user name and password.
- Enter the name of the virtual machine.
- The disk space specification dialog is displayed, but leave the default here.
- The ready screen will be displayed. Check the contents, and if there are no problems, click "Finish".
- The VM will start automatically.
- The screen for entering the user name will appear again.
- I entered admin in 3, but I changed it because it was a reserved word.
It should have been the same ...
- Wait for a while as the OS installation will be executed.
- When the installation is complete and the login screen appears, you are done. (The image is the screen after login)
Finally
It's a simple content, but thank you for reading. Now that I've created a VM, I'll try various things. I may write an article again, so I hope you read it.
May 2021 be a good year for everyone ☆
