In this video, we will learn the download and installation of Linux Operating System Distribution Centers
Version eight.
Now if you want to go with Santos version nine, then you could simply skip this entire video and go
to the next one.
Or if you wanted to go with Santos version seven, then you could go one video back where I have all
the installation instructions on that video.
All right, so if you decided to go with Santos eight, that's fine.
What we will cover in this video is we will create a virtual machine download Santos eight stream ISO
from Santos Dawg website and then we will attach install Santos eight stream.
Going back to our lab diagram, we have our laptop or desktop running Windows or Mac.
We have installed virtualization software and we had two options either VMware Player or Oracle VirtualBox.
Then we created a virtual machine, or we will be creating our virtual machine and we will install a
Linux.
And of course we are going with the flavor or distribution of Santos version eight in this video.
All right, let's go to our Firefox and let's go to Google and type download Santos eight, pick the
first link, go to Santos OS stream and by default it will go to nine.
So pick eight.
Once again.
My preference is if you really wanted to go with eight, which you think is the latest version, then
I would say go with the nine instead.
Anyway, if you decided to stay with eight for any reason, that's fine.
Let's click on eight, click on x 86, underscore 64 bit architecture, click on the first mirror or
any mirror of your choice, and then it will bring you to one of these links.
So you have to pick the one that has a size.
The highest size right here is this 10.7 gig DVD one.
So click on that and it will start downloading the ISO.
Now I'm going to cancel it because I have already downloaded it to save some time.
If you have not, you could pause the video right now.
Let the download complete and come back.
All right.
Assuming we have downloaded it now, let's go ahead and create our virtual machine.
All right.
So this is the virtual machine we created earlier for users who want to go with Santos seven.
All right, so let's create a new virtual machine and let's name it Santos.
Eight.
Or if you don't have Santos seven, you could pick the same name we picked right here.
My Linux VM.
All right, so type Linux version Red Hat.
I want you to change that to right here.
Linux 2.63.4. x.
All right.
So the reason I did not pick Red Hat because it has some kind of compatibility issue with Oracle VirtualBox.
And if you pick that version anyway, you pick this generic version, that's fine.
Click Next Memory one gig by default, it picks eight gig of memory.
That's fine.
I'll change that right now.
Just leave it as is create hard disk file type leave it default VDI storage on physical hard disk dynamically
allocated right here.
Is this file size or disk size eight.
We're going to change it to 20.
You could pick 30, 40 or 50 depending on the size that you have or disk space you have on your computer.
So go ahead and click Create.
This has created the virtual machine.
Now I want you to go to the settings and go to the network and change the attach to Nat from NAT to
bridge adapter.
This will allow us to connect to the internet.
If you pick bridge adapter, click.
Okay, now the virtual machine is done.
Now if we have already downloaded the ISO image, now go ahead and click on START.
All right.
So it's asking you, where is the operating system, ISO image or disk by default is picking host drive,
which is the G drive, DVD drive.
We don't have that.
We have ISO image.
So we're going to click on this little folder.
All right.
And then I have already added or attached the CentOS eight previously.
If you do not have attached, then you could simply click on ADD.
And then you could click on the folder where you have your ISO image located.
I had it right here.
I clicked on this and I clicked open.
So since you click so once you click open, it will show up here.
Then you select that ISO and click choose and then you click on Start.
Now when you get to this point, click inside the window and then move your arrow key up and hit enter.
And this will start the installation wizard and your mouse will be captured inside.
If you want to release your mouse, click the right control key, which is on the right hand side of
your keyboard.
Click on that.
And it would release your mouse, by the way, wherever it needs some time to bring up the installation
or the installation process could take time.
I am going to fast forward from that point.
So if you see my screen going really fast and you're going slow, not because your computer is slow,
it's just that I have fast forwarded the video.
All right.
You could go ahead and cancel this.
This is just telling you that your mouse is captured and stuff like that.
So welcome to Santa's Stream eight stream English and the language of where you are located depending
on your region.
Pick that one, click next or continue.
Let's minimize the Oracle VirtualBox manager from the background.
All right.
Okay.
So installation summary right here on the installation.
Summary, the keyboard it will select based on where you are.
I'm in the United States.
It picked U.
English U.S. installation, local media, which I have attached.
Installation, destination.
Click on that pick the 20 gig.
It's already checked marked so you just have to click done so it is done language support English United
States Software Server with guy that should be selected.
If you do not have that select on it and then pick this one server with gooey and click done.
All right.
K dump is enabled.
That's a kernel dump.
Time and date.
America.
New York Times.
When I'm in New York time zone, wherever you are, it should pick up based on your location, network
and hostname.
So right here I want you to pick the name of your host or your operating system.
Let's pick my Linux VM.
And as soon as you click apply you're going to see current host name is right now local host.
It will change.
So click apply see right here changed.
Now I want you to just click here and enable or turn on the networking.
So as you clicked on on, are you going to see that it's going to pick an IP address and it's going
to pick the default route and based on your router.
All right.
So it's good click done.
All right.
Now click on Root Password.
This is the root password, which is an administrative password of your Linux machine.
So please enter the password that you could remember.
Now, if you have picked a weak password, it will tell you it's weak.
But that's okay.
It will ask you that it's based on a dictionary or whatever.
The reason you will have to press done twice to confirm it.
That's fine.
One to.
All right.
So that is done.
And you could just simply move this down.
And then you see right here says user creation.
Let's click on that.
Let's create a regular user, which is you, your name.
So full name.
I'm going to go with my name, Imran Afzal and automatically the user name is my first name, initial
full last name.
Make this user administrator.
That's fine.
Require a password to use this account.
That's fine.
Let's put in the password again.
Remember the password.
You could pick the same password that you picked for root or you could pick a different one.
That's fine, but whatever you pick, please remember it again.
Same thing.
If you have picked the weak one, or if it's based on dictionary, you have to press down twice.
One to.
All right, so everything is selected.
You see, there is no warning sign anymore.
Beautiful.
Now go ahead and click begin installation.
All right.
So this is starting to install.
Go through the installation.
It's going to collect the number of packages that are needed, configuring file system and a lot of
other stuff.
Now, this could take anywhere from 10 to 25 minutes or even 30 minutes, depending on your system speed.
So I'm going to fast forward and once your system or once your installation is done and it's completed,
then we will start from there.
I'll see you in a little bit.
Okay.
So the installation has been completed.
Go ahead and click on Reboot System.
Right here.
You have to accept the license.
Just click on.
I accept the license agreement and click done.
You could close this one again and click on Finish Configuration.
All right.
You have a login screen.
You can either log in with your regular name or you can click on not listed, then enter the username
as a root.
And then on the next screen once you click next into the password.
But we'll go ahead and log in as ourself.
All right.
Once you are on this screen, you could go and click on activities.
And click on the terminal.
And here you have the terminal which we will use to run all the links commands and learn everything
about Linux.
That said, congratulations on completing the Linux installation version sent us eight.
