How to Install Fedora 25 on VirtualBox in Windows 8 / Windows 10 Video Lecture | Complete Linux Course: Become a Linux Professional - Software Development

hello guys in this video I'm going to
show you how you can download and
install Fedora version 25 on Oracle
VirtualBox so let's get started
hopefully you have already installed
Oracle VirtualBox on your Windows
operating system I'm using Windows as my
host but I think on other operating
systems also the procedures will be the
same right so just go to VirtualBox
website and just download the executable
file and the installation is really easy
so I am NOT going to show you how to
install VirtualBox just install
VirtualBox and open VirtualBox for now
okay now we are going to download the
Fedora ISO file so just open your
favorite browser and search for fedora
and the first link which will appear
here will be get fedora dot o-r-g so
just click on the link and here on the
Fedora website you have three options
fedora workstation server and atomic we
are interested in workstation so just
just click on this section workstation
section and here you will be able to see
this kind of interface and here it says
this is the Linux workstation and you
have been waiting for so I will just
click this download button which says
download now now the little change the
Fedora website has done here is in
whenever you wanted to you know download
and install Fedora 24 version for
example the ISO file was available on
here right in this you know green
download button for example but recently
I think Fedora has also the Windows
version of executable file which we
don't want right so we want fedora ISO
file and this download button is
going to give you that and what you need
to do is you need to download this ISO
file from here with say 64-bit 3.1 GB
live image right so click on this link
not on this ok so just click this link
which is going to download fedora on
your Windows operating system right
which is the ISO file you can see fedora
workstation Live 64 bits 3.1 ISO I have
already downloaded it's a quite big file
so you need to wait for the download so
I have already downloaded this file on
my operating system and this is the ISO
file which I'm going to use and now I'm
ready to you know create the virtual
machine using this fedora so for that
just open your VirtualBox manager and
here we are going to create a new
virtual machine you can see I have
already have a different kind of
operating system on VirtualBox and now I
want to install Fedora also so just
click this new button here and once you
click this button it's going to give you
the new virtual machine interface kind
of thing and here create a virtual
machine you need to give the name Fedora
and VirtualBox is intelligent enough to
recognize that if you type name Fedora
here just type Fedora and the type
automatically will be selected here will
be Linux and it's going to automatically
select the version Fedora 64-bit if it
doesn't appear automatically you can
just choose from here right so Fedora
64-bit and Linux and then click Next and
this is the memory minimum memory it
requires but we can give a little bit
more memory to it for example 2 gigabyte
of memory for example and click Next and
here it says create our
virtual hard drive now which we want so
just leave it as default which is the
second option and just click create okay
this is going to give you this kind of
interface just leave the first option
you know enabled which is VDI format and
then click Next and also here just leave
the dynamically allocated memory here
and just click Next and here you can
provide the size or whatever you know
size you want to give to your fedora
fedora operating system it requires
minimum 8gb but you can increase it to
for example 20 GB or whatever you know
memory you want to allocate hard disk
you want to look it right and then click
create and this is going to create this
virtual machine but still it's not ready
to use because we haven't provided the
path for your you know ISO file in this
virtual machine right so what you need
to do next is just click Fedora and
select Fedora from here and then click
settings here or otherwise you can right
click on Fedora and click settings from
here also
both will open the settings option for
the Fedora virtual machine and here you
can change some of the settings related
to Fedora so what we want to do here is
we want to go to systems and here you
can see we have allocated 2 GB which is
fine but if you want to provide the more
processor by default VirtualBox provide
the one CPU for your virtual machine but
you can increase it from here for
example I want to use two or three or
four processors right so for now I want
to use two ok and here leave it as
default next option is display people
don't want to change anything in there
and the next option is here which says
sis storage right and in the storage
what we want to do is we want to provide
the
location of our ISO file so just select
storage and go to controller select
empty right select empty and on the
right hand side you will be able to see
this kind of interface just select the
CD icon which is on the right hand side
and then click choose virtual CD disc
file ok so just click here and then copy
the location wherever you have saved
your ISO file fedora ISO file and then
you know provide this location from here
and choose the ISO file which you have
downloaded and click open and this is
going to provide the path for your ISO
file right and here one of the important
option in general is you can see here
that if you want to copy and paste
content from your for example Windows
host machine to your Fred or machine go
to general and go to advanced and here
you just need to enable bidirectional
for shared clipboard and drag-drop
bi-directional so choose these two
options bi-directional and click OK now
we are ready to start our installation
for fedora so just select fedora and
click start and this is going to start
the installation for the fedora for the
first time first it's going to you know
give you this kind of screen you just
need to press enter here so just press
enter or just press Enter key which is
going to start your installation right
so first of all the process has been
started and now the Fedora installation
has been started right and what you can
do here is just click on the user and
now it's going to start the installation
and now here you can see the welcome
screen for the installation
so click install hard drive this option
and the next step is to choose your
language in which you want to install
Fedora so for example I want
to install Fedora in English so I will
just scroll down and search for the
English version which is this one and
then I'm going to click continue and now
the in the next option I need to choose
the keyboard settings time and date
settings installation destination
settings and network settings right so
we will do it one by one first of all
keyboard settings the English keyboard
is OK for me but for now I also want to
include the German keyboard because I
have the German keyboard on my laptop so
I'm going to just search for German
keyboard from here ok so search for the
German keyboard in my case I'm going to
choose German keyboard but if you are
you know ok with the English keyboard
it's okay right and then click done the
next option is date and time
automatically my location is showing
here so I'm just going to click done
here third option is system so just
click on system and these settings are
also ok so just click done once again
and the fourth option is going to be the
network option right so we will just
give the network options from here also
so just choose a network and home name
for now I don't want to change anything
so I will just click done once again so
even if you don't want to change
anything in these 4 options you just
need to open every one and then choose
the option and click the done button
also ok and then you can see big an
installation button here so just click
this begin installation and then the
installation of fedora will start in a
meanwhile you can provide the new root
password for your system and you can
create a new user right so I'm going to
just create a root password just click

and then here I'm going to provide a
root password which you can remember so
I'm going to provide one loose root
password and once again I'm going to
provide the same password here and then
I'm going to click done and now I'm
going to provide the user you know
attribute which I want to create so just
click user creation and in here I'm
going to provide a new user name for
example code bind and the second option
is here I'm going to choose this option
which says make this user as any

this user as administrator and then I'm
going to provide the password so once
again I'm going to provide the password
for the user for example and then I'm
going to click done ok so just click
done and now you have provided the root
password also and we have created a new
user also in my case I have provided the
same password here and here but it's on
you whatever you want right and now you
can see the installation is you know
going on while we are setting our root
password and user you know credentials
and now we will wait for some time for
the installation to complete it will
take some time so I'm going to pause the
video and I'm going to continue once
installation has been done okay and now
I can see that the Fedora installation
is complete on my virtual machine and I
can see this message which says Fedora
is now successfully installed and ready
for you to use go ahead and reboot to
start using it right so I'm going to
click quit button which is going to quit
the installation instead of interface
and then I'm going to restart it so just
