1

00:00:00,000  -->  00:00:02,790
In this lecture we will be installing our virtual machine.
2

2

00:00:03,100  -->  00:00:05,530
This video is intended for Windows users.
3

3

00:00:05,540  -->  00:00:09,130
If you're on Mac OS, go on to the next lecture to install
4

4

00:00:09,140  -->  00:00:09,760
virtual box.
5

5

00:00:10,160  -->  00:00:13,970
So the first thing to do is open a browser and head to the
6

6

00:00:13,980  -->  00:00:15,530
VMware player download page.
7

7

00:00:15,700  -->  00:00:19,480
In the lower left you will click the Try Workstation Player
8

8

00:00:19,490  -->  00:00:20,320
for Windows tab.
9

9

00:00:20,620  -->  00:00:25,330
This begins downloading the VMware Executable. Before we can
10

10

00:00:25,340  -->  00:00:29,050
use our virtual machine, we have to download our Ubuntu operating
11

11

00:00:29,060  -->  00:00:33,210
system, so Let's head over to their download page. Now regardless
12

12

00:00:33,220  -->  00:00:34,560
of what the latest version is,
13

13

00:00:34,570  -->  00:00:37,710
If you are following along with this course we will be using
14

14

00:00:37,720  -->  00:00:42,950
Ubuntu 20.04. If in the future there is a newer version, you
15

15

00:00:42,960  -->  00:00:46,790
can head over to the alternative downloads, and download version
16

16

00:00:46,800  -->  00:00:48,920
20.04 from there.
17

17

00:00:53,550  -->  00:00:57,880
You'll notice that the Ubuntu ISO file is relatively large.
18

18

00:00:58,160  -->  00:01:01,160
If you have a slow internet connection, especially if you're
19

19

00:01:01,170  -->  00:01:04,519
on WiFi, it may be worth going to the alternative downloads
20

20

00:01:04,530  -->  00:01:08,640
page and getting a torrent link to download Ubuntu in a torrent
21

21

00:01:08,640  -->  00:01:10,890
downloader such as Utorrent instead.
22

22

00:01:11,080  -->  00:01:14,200
This will help make sure you don't end up with a corrupted
23

23

00:01:14,210  -->  00:01:16,170
file. For the time being,
24

24

00:01:16,180  -->  00:01:19,440
I'm going to cancel this download since I already downloaded
25

25

00:01:19,450  -->  00:01:20,220
it ahead of time.
26

26

00:01:20,280  -->  00:01:23,520
Feel free to pause the video and come back when your download
27

27

00:01:23,530  -->  00:01:24,000
is finished.
28

28

00:01:25,110  -->  00:01:28,390
Alright now Let's go ahead and run the VMware installer.
29

29

00:01:32,060  -->  00:01:33,920
The Wizard appears.
30

30

00:01:33,920  -->  00:01:37,550
Go ahead and click Next, which will bring up the user agreement.
31

31

00:01:37,560  -->  00:01:39,320
Go ahead and read through it.
32

32

00:01:39,440  -->  00:01:41,660
Check the accept box and hit next.
33

33

00:01:41,720  -->  00:01:45,560
Here you can change the install path which I just leave as
34

34

00:01:45,570  -->  00:01:49,030
is and check the enhanced keyboard driver which allows for
35

35

00:01:49,040  -->  00:01:51,250
use of full feature and multi language keyboard.
36

36

00:01:52,090  -->  00:01:56,000
Now I do not care for VMware checking for updates on startup
37

37

00:01:56,090  -->  00:01:59,150
nor being part of the Customer Experience program, so I'll
38

38

00:01:59,160  -->  00:02:00,860
go ahead and Uncheck those and hit next.
39

39

00:02:01,040  -->  00:02:05,070
I do want shortcuts placed on my desktop and on my Start menu so
40

40

00:02:05,250  -->  00:02:09,449
I will leave those ticks and now we go ahead and hit install.
41

41

00:02:09,699  -->  00:02:12,430
After about a minute or so we can hit
42

42

00:02:12,440  -->  00:02:12,760
Finish.
43

43

00:02:14,370  -->  00:02:18,400
Now it will prompt us to restart our computer so I will go
44

44

00:02:18,410  -->  00:02:21,220
ahead and do that now manually so I can stop the recording
45

45

00:02:21,230  -->  00:02:22,300
and I'll see you in a bit.
46

46

00:02:23,440  -->  00:02:26,450
Alright, I've restarted my computer and hopefully you have
47

47

00:02:26,460  -->  00:02:26,960
done the same.
48

48

00:02:26,900  -->  00:02:30,110
So now Let's begin configuring our Ubuntu virtual machine.
49

49

00:02:30,240  -->  00:02:38,010
Go ahead and open VMware when it opens.
50

50

00:02:38,010  -->  00:02:40,920
Go ahead and click Create new virtual machine.
51

51

00:02:40,930  -->  00:02:44,880
It's going to prompt us for the disk image of our operating
52

52

00:02:44,890  -->  00:02:48,380
system. So Let's browse into our downloads folder and get
53

53

00:02:48,390  -->  00:02:49,100
our disk image.
54

54

00:02:51,800  -->  00:02:53,850
Select it and hit next.
55

55

00:02:54,620  -->  00:02:58,710
Now VMware optimizes installation of certain operating systems
56

56

00:02:58,880  -->  00:03:01,970
so we can put in our information here and it will automatically
57

57

00:03:01,980  -->  00:03:04,850
get put in to save us a little time when setting up the VM,
58

58

00:03:05,600  -->  00:03:10,230
you can give your Ubuntu user account whatever name and password
59

59

00:03:10,230  -->  00:03:13,650
you want. I'm just going to use my name and put in an easy
60

60

00:03:13,650  -->  00:03:14,700
to remember password.
61

61

00:03:15,180  -->  00:03:18,340
Now we are going to give our virtual machine a name.
62

62

00:03:18,610  -->  00:03:22,390
This will be the name we see in our list when we open VMware.
63

63

00:03:22,720  -->  00:03:25,690
I'm just going to note that this is a Ubuntu 20 machine
64

64

00:03:25,840  -->  00:03:27,550
and leave the default location.
65

65

00:03:28,170  -->  00:03:32,200
Now we are going to specify how much space on our hard drive
66

66

00:03:32,210  -->  00:03:33,910
we want this operating system to have.
67

67

00:03:34,020  -->  00:03:37,410
Note that default disk size is 20 gigabytes.
68

68

00:03:37,700  -->  00:03:40,460
However, if you plan to follow along with the lectures in
69

69

00:03:40,470  -->  00:03:43,520
the Advanced feature section of this course, we will be building
70

70

00:03:43,530  -->  00:03:47,060
ROS2 from Source, which will take up a lot of space, in
71

71

00:03:47,070  -->  00:03:50,300
which case I actually recommend 35 gigabytes of disk capacity
72

72

00:03:50,560  -->  00:03:52,600
to make sure you don't end up running low on space.
73

73

00:03:54,270  -->  00:03:56,710
Now we get our final check prompt.
74

74

00:03:56,740  -->  00:04:00,190
I'm going to go ahead and hit finish, which will start up
75

75

00:04:00,200  -->  00:04:01,030
our virtual machine.
76

76

00:04:07,160  -->  00:04:11,600
If you get prompted to download VMware tools for Linux, go
77

77

00:04:11,610  -->  00:04:12,320
ahead and do so.
78

78

00:04:12,330  -->  00:04:15,740
This will help enhance performance and give other extra features.
79

79

00:04:16,000  -->  00:04:19,779
As you can see, the Ubuntu installation will continue.
80

80

00:04:19,880  -->  00:04:23,030
This will take a while, especially if you have a lower end
81

81

00:04:23,040  -->  00:04:26,440
computer. For me, it took about 20 minutes or so, so I'm
82

82

00:04:26,450  -->  00:04:29,050
just going to speed up this video so you can see what happens
83

83

00:04:29,060  -->  00:04:31,890
along the way, but feel free to pause this video and come
84

84

00:04:31,900  -->  00:04:33,270
back when the install finishes.
85

85

00:04:35,870  -->  00:04:39,270
Alright, so our installation has finished, so Let's go ahead
86

86

00:04:39,280  -->  00:04:41,220
and click on our user and log on.
87

87

00:04:44,500  -->  00:04:48,280
We can go ahead and maximize this window so you can use our
88

88

00:04:48,290  -->  00:04:48,940
entire screen.
89

89

00:04:49,120  -->  00:04:51,460
This is the Ubuntu getting started window.
90

90

00:04:51,760  -->  00:04:55,480
We will not set up live patch and we will opt out of sending
91

91

00:04:55,490  -->  00:04:56,560
info to Ubuntu.
92

92

00:04:56,900  -->  00:05:00,620
I'll leave location services off and we can go ahead and
93

93

00:05:00,630  -->  00:05:01,100
hit. Done.
94

94

00:05:02,030  -->  00:05:02,870
Congratulations.
95

95

00:05:03,240  -->  00:05:05,610
You now have a new virtual operating system.
96

96

00:05:05,620  -->  00:05:09,390
Feel free to customize the Sidebar with apps you will use
97

97

00:05:09,400  -->  00:05:10,740
by right clicking on them.
98

98

00:05:10,880  -->  00:05:14,600
I'll go ahead and remove these ones since I'm not going to
99

99

00:05:14,610  -->  00:05:19,360
be using them, then I will go ahead and click on the All
100

100

00:05:19,370  -->  00:05:22,840
apps icon in the lower left and search for terminal.
101

101

00:05:22,850  -->  00:05:24,910
I'll go ahead and click it.
102

102

00:05:24,920  -->  00:05:29,500
You can also use the key binding Control Alt T open a new
103

103

00:05:29,510  -->  00:05:31,360
terminal if you'd rather do it that way.
104

104

00:05:34,520  -->  00:05:38,810
Now that it is open, I can go to the Sidebar right click
105

105

00:05:38,820  -->  00:05:42,350
and favorite it so it is there for me to use later in the
106

106

00:05:42,360  -->  00:05:46,040
future. When you want to shut down your virtual environment,
107

107

00:05:46,050  -->  00:05:49,970
you can click the power icon in the top right and click Power
108

108

00:05:50,000  -->  00:05:55,500
off. Alternatively, you can use the terminal by typing Shut
109

109

00:05:55,500  -->  00:06:00,720
down now and hitting enter.
110

110

00:06:03,830  -->  00:06:04,830
Great.
111

111

00:06:04,840  -->  00:06:08,880
You successfully configured your Ubuntu virtual environment.
112

112

00:06:08,980  -->  00:06:12,640
In the next lecture, we will go over installing ROS.
