    Study Notes

    • This tutorial covers the installation of Linux and setting up a system for programming tasks, specifically using Python. • The tutorial uses Ubuntu, a flavor of Linux, and the Ubuntu Desktop version 20.04 LTS (Long Term Support) is recommended for this course. • The Ubuntu ISO file can be downloaded from the Ubuntu website, and it's around 2GB in size. • To install Ubuntu, a virtual machine software called VirtualBox is required, which can be downloaded from the VirtualBox website. • VirtualBox can be installed on any platform, including Mac, Windows, or Linux. • Once VirtualBox is installed, a new virtual machine can be created, and the Ubuntu ISO file can be selected for installation. • The installation process requires allocating memory (RAM) size, which can range from 1GB to the maximum available RAM, and hard disk space, which is recommended to be at least 10GB. • The installation process can be done in a virtual machine or directly on a laptop, but be careful when creating partitions to avoid affecting existing data. • The installation steps include selecting the language, updating while installing, and installing Ubuntu, which can be done with a minimal installation or a normal installation. • The minimal installation skips installing office software, games, and media players, but they can be installed later. • When installing directly on a laptop, it's recommended to select "Something else" to control which partition is used for installation. • The swap area size should be similar to the allocated RAM, and a root partition should be created using the remaining free space. • The installation process takes around 30-40 minutes, and important steps include selecting the time zone, creating a username and password, and installing the bootloader. • After installation, the system will restart, and the user will need to log in again with the created username and password. • To test the installation, the terminal can be opened, and the command "ping google.com" can be used to check if the internet is connected. • The next tutorial will cover installing Python and basic libraries.
