Hello guys, welcome to Linux Tactics channel. Today I am going to demonstrate how to install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on VirtualBox
For its system requirements, we must have pre-installed VirtualBox on our system
2 VCU, dual core processor, 4GB of RAM, 25GB of disk space, Internet connectivity and ISO file
Add this to LTS VirtualBox, you would be getting support and updates until April 2027
So, let's move into the installation steps. The first step is to download its ISO file
To download the ISO file, we get its official webpage ubuntu.com.downloads.desktop Click on its download icon, it will start downloading the ISO file
The size would be around 3.6 GB. So, in my case, I have already downloaded it and I will place it on my downloads folder
Now, move to the next step. Create a VirtualBox VM for Ubuntu
Start the VirtualBox. Click on New. Specify the VM name. So, I would be giving it as Ubuntu 22.04
It will automatically pick the type as Linux, as it is a Linux distribution by its name
And its version is Ubuntu 64-bit. Okay, fine. Click on Next. Specify the RAM as 4096
Processor as True. Click on Next. It has automatically assigned 25 GB of disk space
That is enough. And this is the minimum requirement. So, click on Next
Click on Finish. Okay, now select the VM. Click on Settings. We would be attaching the ISO file, so that it can boot copy the ISO file
Click on Storage. And then select the ISO file. In my case, it is Ubuntu 22.04. Okay
Click on OK. I would also attach the interface to the bridge adapter of my laptop or the netbook
So, click on Settings again. Click on Network. Choose the first adapter
Attach to Select as Bridge Adapter. Click on OK. And now we are going to start this virtual machine
So, click on Start. It will take couple of seconds to boot up

Installation tabs. So, how would you proceed with the installation. Whether you want to do a normal installation, minimal installation
So, I would go for the normal installation. And here, the other options
Just click, choose this option, Download Updates for Installing Ubuntu. If you have, if your system has internet connectivity, choose this option

Click on Continue. Okay
Now, installation time. How would you install. So, there are two options
Here, it is desk on Ubuntu. And the second one is something else
If you want to create your own custom partition table, then go with the second option, something else
If you don't want to create your own customized partition and you want the installer to create partitions automatically on the desk, then choose the first option
So, in this demo, I would be going with the first option. Click on Install Now. Okay
Click on Continue to accept the changes and write the changes to the desk
Data Load Location. Choose your geographic location. So, I would be choosing London here
Specify your system name. Username is password. So, let's say my username is Linus Trety
I want to put the machine name as Jenny Fish
And the password. Okay
So, this username would be using it once the OS was installed
So, remember this username and password. We would be using it later
So, click on Continue. Installation got started. So, it will take around 5 to 10 minutes depending upon the internet speed and hardware configuration of your system. Great
So, the screen confirms that installation is completed. Click on Restart to reboot the system
Click Restart Now
It will prompt you to reboot the ISO file. Press Enter to remove the installation media
And it will start our newly installed Ubuntu 22.04. It will boot up in few seconds
We will get a login screen. We will use the same username and password that we specified during the operation. Wait

Otherwise, you can skip it. Click on Next. If you want to set up the live piping
