How to Install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on VMware 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 Ubuntu 16.4 on VMware virtual
machine
I have VMware Player installed but this
procedure can be used for VMware
Workstation also so first of all
hopefully you already have installed a
VMware virtual machine I as I said I
already have VMware Player but hopefully
you already have a VMware Player or
workstation right now the first step
here is to download the ISO file for
Ubuntu so just search for one - and the
first website hopefully which will
appear here will be from ubuntu.com so
just click on this URL and then we are
going to go to download and in the
download click Ubuntu desktop
I am the desktop you can see two
versions one is ubuntu 16.04 LTS LTS
stands for long-term service version
which will be supported for a longer
time and other is 16.0 which will be
supported for nine months you can see
every nine months Ubuntu releases a new
version so I will suggest you to
download that this version which says
LTS and click on this download button
which will lead you to this page here if
you want you can you know pay some
donation to Ubuntu in order to download
this or otherwise you can just you know
make these progress bar to zero and then
click download Ubuntu desktop okay so
what I have done is I have already
downloaded this ISO file because it's
relatively big file which is 1.4 GB so I
have already downloaded this file and
after downloading it is going to look
like this so this will
be something like this Ubuntu 16.4
desktop amd64 dot iso file ok once this
file is downloaded just open your VMware
virtual machine and in here we are going
to create a new virtual machine right so
click home here and then just click
create a new virtual machine and then
the next step will be the installation
wizard we will just select I will
install operating system later and then
click Next and we want to install Linux
and from here you need to choose Ubuntu
64-bit so just choose Ubuntu 64-bit and
then click Next and this will be the
name of your virtual machine you can see
I already have some virtual machine
installed including Ruben too so I will
name it as open to 64-bit too but in
your case you can leave it as default ok
and then click it next and here just
leave everything as default this will be
the maximum size needed for Ubuntu so
just leave it as default and then click
Next and then click finish
once you click finish you will be able
to see your virtual machine created here
but still you are not ready to start
your virtual machine because we haven't
provided any path to the virtual machine
so select your virtual machine which you
have created and then click Add it
virtual machine settings and in here you
can provide different settings to your
virtual machine first is the memory by
default 1gb memory is set but we can
increase it to for example for 4 GB
depending upon the you know memory
available in your computer second is the
processors by default a VMware will
locate one processor for your virtual
machine which you can increase for
example I want to use two processor or
two cores for my machine right this is
the hard disk I do not want to change
this 20 GB but if you want you can
change it now the next is the cd/dvd and
from here you can give the path of your
ISO file so just select CV CD / DVD SATA
and then choose this option that says
use ISO image file and then browse for
the file so we will browse for this ISO
file which we have downloaded so I will
just copy the path and paste it here and
then just select this ISO file and click
open ok I will minimize this and once
you are done with the path you know
selection then you can click OK and now
we can just play our virtual machine
which will start the installation so
select your virtual machine which you
have created and then click this button
which says play virtual machine is going
to start the installation for ubuntu
16.04
[Music]
so you can see the installation has been
started first of all you will be able to
see this kind of screen and then you
will be able to see that installation
wizard for ubuntu so in the next step
you will be able to see this kind of
interface which say is try of 1 2 and
install Ubuntu and on the left hand side
you can select the language in which you
want to install ubuntu so for now I want
to choose English as the installation
language and I will just click this
button which says install ubuntu now in
the next step
it says prepare to install ubuntu in
this case you just need to check both
the option I prefer to choose both the
option which says download updates while
installing Ubuntu
I install third-party software for
graphics right so I will prefer to check
both the option and click continue and
in the next step it says choose the
installation type this computer
currently has no a detected operating
system what we do like to do so this
option which is by default selected is
okay some people may think that it is
dis how it will work
it will not erase your original host
operating system this is just an option
right so just leave it as it is this can
install Ubuntu checked right and then
click install now and then click
continue and here you just need to
choose the region in which you are
living my region is automatically
selected hopefully your region will also
be automatically selected so you just
need to click Next in here in the next
step you can choose the desktop or
keyboard layout for you so as I have a
German keyboard layout I can choose from
here in case you have any other language
keyboard layout you can choose your
preferred keyboard layout or if you're
not sure just leave it as default and
then click continue
okay now in the next step you will be
asked your give your username and
computer name for your Ubuntu
installation so I will give the user
names I will give code bind and the
computer name I will just leave it as
code bind itself the same name as the
name of the computer right and then you
need to give the password here just give
any password which you whichever you
like and repeat your password again and
then click continue and now the
installation for Ubuntu operating system
on VMware has been started it will take
around 10 to 15 minutes to complete the
installation
in some cases it can take lesser time
also and just wait for this progress bar
to go to 100% and then I will pause the
video for now bit because it can take a
little bit longer and once this step is
complete I'm going to you know continue
with the video so now the installation
for Ubuntu 16-4 point for operating
system on my VMware Player is complete
and it says distillation complete you
need to restart your computer so you can
just press restart Now button which is
going to essentially restart you're open
to operating system on your virtual
machine you can see it's restarting and
it says please remove the installation
medium and press Enter
so you can just press enter here so now
the Ubuntu operating system has been
restarted and now you just need to give
the password you have provided at the
time of installation and press ENTER and
hopefully you will be able to see the
icons on the left hand bar and hopefully
you will be able to you know run your
open to as a virtual machine on the
VMware Player okay so just wait for a
few seconds and on the left hand side
this bar will appear automatically so
here it is so this bar is appearing so
now when you expand so installation is
successful everything is working you're
open to operating system is working but
when you click you know this maximize
button this screen is you know this open
to desktop is not resizing according to
the virtual machine you know size you
can click this button also but nothing
happens so for to solve this problem
what you can do here is you can open the
terminal you can search for the terminal
from here
you can press ctrl Alt key to open the
terminal and it's going to open the
terminal
right so just for the terminal here and
then master terminal is open
I have also pressed ctrl alt T so second
terminal is open so once your terminal
is open you just need to type this
command sudo apt - get install
open-vm-tools open - VM - tools ok and
press ENTER and then give your password
of your computer which you have provided
and now it's a is just provide y-y-yes
for Y and if you don't want this then +
+ key so I'm going to press Y key and
then press ENTER and it will also take a
couple of minutes so just be patient
once this installation of open-vm-tools
is completed we can continue with our
tutorial ok
so once this open VM tools is installed
we will just give one more command so
just use the previous command which says
sudo apt - get installed open VM VM tool
the same command which we have used last
time and just add - des doc here ok and
press ENTER and once again + y and press
Enter
and once this installation is complete
you may need to reboot your computer you
can reboot your window operating system
by going to this settings button and
then click set shutdown and there will
be option to reboot or you can simply
give the command Lee boot here ok just
type reboot and press ENTER and it's
going to reboot your Odin 2 operating
system automatically so we will login
once again here and
Center and this time when we will use
this option which is enter full screen
mode which is this option you can see
your Ubuntu desktop is resized according
to the size of your virtual machine yeah
or otherwise you can just resize by
dragging like this also so whatever size
you want for your one to operating
system you can just drag and drop and
fit to that size so I hope you have
