1. Introduction to virtual machines
Introduction to virtual machines
Refers to computer software that can run programs like a real machine. It uses software to simulate a complete computer system with complete hardware system functions and running in a completely isolated environment.
My personal understanding is that it can simulate a real computer and run the program.
Virtual machine installation:
Go to the official website to download or find the installation package in other paths, and then install it. The following content takes version 15 as an example (VMware),
2. Virtual machine installation steps
Click Next;
2.2. Protocol interface
Check I accept the agreement and click Next;
2.3. Installation location selection
It is recommended to choose the default path instead of the enhanced one, click Next;
2.4. User experience settings
Select nothing. Checking any one will cause the startup speed to slow down (you can check it if you don’t care about the startup speed), click Next;
2.5. Shortcut settings
Check both, one is to create a desktop icon and the other is to display the folder in the start program, click Next;
2.6. Installation interface
Click to install;
2.7. License key interface
Click on the license;
2.8. License key interface
Enter the available keys via: the teacher will give you the cracking software, and the software will generate it; resource sharing in various communities (also cracking software); click Enter after input is complete;
2.9. Complete the installation interface
Click Finish;
3. Steps to create a virtual machine
3.1. Run the desktop virtual machine startup icon;
3.2. Enter the virtual machine interface, create a new virtual machine, enter the wizard, and select a custom type configuration (click Next);
As shown in Figure 1 below:

3.5. Select the guest operating system, select Linux, (click Next), and the version is ubuntu64-bit; as shown in Figure 4:
Figure 4
3.6. Name the virtual machine and select the location where the virtual machine exists. After completion, click Next; as shown in Figure 5:
It is not recommended to place it on the C drive because it requires a lot of space and can cause lags.

3.7. Select the processor configuration. The default options are sufficient. After completion, click Next; as shown in Figure 6:
If it is not used for development but only for learning, select the following configuration.
