SQL Server on Linux step 2: Linux (Ubuntu ) installation using Virtual Box VM

In my previous post we learn how we can get free Virtual machine to install another operating system on our existing windows. We downloaded Oracle virtual Box Virtual Machine and decided to install Linux plate form on it. We downloaded Linux flavor Ubuntu 17.10 64 bit Server .iso image from given link and now we will learn how to install Ubuntu on Virtual Box VM. You can find previous post under following link.

1-      From your VM box right click -> on your VM and press “Start” or “Normal Start”.




2-      This will start Ubuntu setup. Load downloaded .iso file and press Start


3-      Setup will load Ubuntu from .iso file. Press Install ubuntu

12-   In left side tab go to Network under Adapter 1 tab.

13-   Setup your network setting as you setup in your windows machine.

14-   Install putty on your windows system and you can use command prompt to connect Ubuntu from outside Ubuntu.



15-   Starting Linux (Ubuntu). To open root command Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal window. For security purposes (and to avoid damage), the root user account is locked by default. To safely run commands as root, you should use sudo instead. Enabling the root user can put your system at risk and is not recommended by Ubuntu.


16-   You can use Sudo apt-get update as follows
