00:00:04,875 --> 00:00:08,090
Today we're going to show you how to set
up a Linux server running as a virtual

3
00:00:08,090 --> 00:00:10,370
machine on your development computer.

4
00:00:10,370 --> 00:00:13,110
This is a great way to set up
a sandbox where you can try out

5
00:00:13,110 --> 00:00:15,540
deploying your applications.

6
00:00:15,540 --> 00:00:18,480
There's a lot of different
virtualization software out there, but

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,270
we're going to use VirtualBox because
it's free, open source, and easy to use.

8
00:00:23,270 --> 00:00:26,520
Likewise, there are lots of different
Linux distributions we could install.

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,960
But we've chosen Ubuntu
because it's commonly used.

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,210
Although you can't do any
real harm with this process,

11
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:34,530
there's a fair number of
things that can go wrong.

12
00:00:34,530 --> 00:00:37,620
You may also find that the screens
presented to you don't exactly match

13
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:38,890
what's in the video.

14
00:00:38,890 --> 00:00:41,730
Be sure to check the teacher's notes for
troubleshooting tips and for

15
00:00:41,730 --> 00:00:43,380
info on virtualization in general.
