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.
And now it's time to create a virtual machine on these virtualization software.
So we will go with Oracle VirtualBox.
This is the Oracle virtual box software that we will be using throughout this course.
All right.
So let's go to Oracle VirtualBox first.
Right here is my Oracle VirtualBox.
If you are in this menu where you see that you do not see the VM to be created, then you come here
where the tool is and click simply these three dots and it will take you to the main menu.
Now on the main menu, simply you need to click new and give it a name of your virtual machine.
So I'm just giving my Linux VM.
That's just the name of your virtual machine.
You have to pick the type of the operating system is Linux.
The version is the latest one that you could pick from.
The list is Linux 2.63. x four dot x 64 bit.
Now if you are seeing that automatically, it's selected for 32 bit and your architecture of your computer
is 64, but then you need to go and enable virtualization on your bio setting.
All right.
So now let's go ahead and click next.
This is the virtual memory.
It's 1024 megabyte, which is equal to one gig.
So leave it as one gig.
Click next.
The storage recommended storage hard to sit eight gig.
We could change that later on.
For now, just click and create.
Hard disk can leave a default storage on physical hard disk dynamically allocated level default click
next.
Right here is the size of the desk.
So you could either pick ten if you're going with Santos operating system seven, or you could go with
Santos and nine stream, which is the most latest version in the Santos or NRL operating system.
But let's say if you are going with seven, a ten or 20 is fine, so go ahead and click Create.
Now, this is this has created your virtual machine.
I want you to go and click on right click on it and click on setting.
Right here in the setting, you could check all the settings that you picked system journal, display
storage, audio network come to network and I want you to change it to from attach to NAT changes to
bridge adapter.
So this way it will allow you to be connected to the Internet when you install and complete the operating
system.
All right.
Go ahead, click.
Okay.
All right.
So this one, this virtual machine is created in our next video.
We will download the ISO image of our centers and we will attach it to this virtual machine and then
we'll go through the installation.
All right.
So this completes our Oracle virtual box creation of virtual machine.
So if you are using Oracle VirtualBox, great, you are done.
You could go to the next video.
But now if you are using VMware Workstation Player, then you could stick around and will.
I'll show you how you can create a virtual machine in VMware Workstation.
So here you have the main home page on the console.
Simply click on creating virtual machine.
You have installed 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 going to see.
You're going to find a lot of distribution in this list.
So if you are going with Santa seven, which is going to be my primary focus in this course, but again,
it does not matter which operating, which distribution you pick, you could pick any Linux distribution
from this list.
What we are learning here is the Linux operating system.
We are not learning Santos, Debian, red hat, sushi, ubuntu or anything.
So our main focus is Linux.
So anyway, you pick anything.
Let's say if you decided to pick Santos nine, sorry, center seven, you could simply pick this one.
And if you're going with Santos nine, it's not in the list, you see.
It's not in the list.
And you could come here and simply pick other Linux five kernel 64 bit.
So that would perfectly work with Santos nine streams.
So anyway for Santos seven, simply click on this one, click next.
This is the name of the virtual machine, my linux VM.
Click next.
All right.
Menendez sighs tow.
So if you're going with seven, you could change it to ten if you want to.
But if you're going with the 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 this click on Customization of Hardware.
I want you to go to a network adapter right here.
As you see, this is the same setting that we had in Oracle VirtualBox.
Let's go ahead and change to bridge adapter the close.
All right, so click on Finish.
Perfect.
So you see your virtual machine now has been created.
Now, in our next video, we will go ahead and download the ISO image of our Linux operating system
and will come back to these virtual machine attached ISO ISO image to these virtual machines and go
through the installation.
