In this video, we will download and install the putty software.
That software you need to connect only from Windows to Linux machine.
In this entire course, we will be accessing our Linux machine through the console as well as remotely.
And in order to access our Linux machine remotely, we need to have a putty client on our Windows machine.
So that is why we will go through the download and installation of putty software in this video.
So Putty is a software which allows you to connect from a Windows system to a Linux system remotely.
So here is your Windows machine right where you are running your virtualization software, right?
You will go ahead and download and install putty.
And when you run the program putty, it will open up like that.
Now you need to provide that party the IP address of your Linux machine so you can connect to it.
So you go to your Linux machine console and you pull the IP address, then you input this IP address
right here and you click on open and it will start or it will connect you to the command line.
Now, if you are accessing the Linux system from a mac and you are a mac user, then you do not need
to download and install this putty session.
You're basically trying to access from your Mac to the Linux machine.
All you have to do is open up a terminal on your Mac.
You could just simply go to your search, type A terminal and it will open up a terminal window.
Once you had the window open, you could simply run this command a minus l This is a lowercase l space.
The username that you created on this Linux machine and the IP address of this Linux machine, and then
you connect to the terminal, by the way, which will be will cover later on how we could get access
to the machine, how we could pull the IP address of our Linux machine and connect to it remotely.
All right.
