 [[vcae-lubuntu-18.04|Install on Lubuntu 18.04]]
+===== Build your own from scratch (NEW) =====
+The base system is Lubuntu 18.04 LTS. Download the
+==== Virtual Machine ====
+There are different virtual machine environments.
+== VMWare ==
+VMWare(r) provides a commercial version VMWare Fusion for Mac OS(r). This has a very good integration in MacOS and I use
+it with MacOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra). It is not free. For Windows(r) there is the VMWare Player. The VMWare Player is free. I have not tested it.
+== VirtualBox ==
+VirtualBox(r) is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS. It is free. From my experience with MacOS it is not as good integrated as VMWare Fusion. The following description targets Virtualbox as this is free of charge.
+=== Get the virtual machine ===
+Download and install the the virtual machine software from [[https://www.virtualbox.org|https://www.virtualbox.org]]
+=== Get the Lubuntu 18.04 install image ===
+Download the ISO file for the 64 Bit Lubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Desktop version. You can download the image from here:
+[[http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/18.04.4/release/lubuntu-18.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso]]
+=== Install the Lubuntu machine ===
+This depends on the virtualization environment that you use.
+== VMWare ==
+Create a new virtual machine with minimum 20GB hard disk. The hard disk will result in a file on the host operating system (Here MacOs) but the file size on the host will be dynamic, i.e. it will depend on the actual usage in the virtual machine. I have selected 300GB. Use the username "caeuser" with password "caeuser" because that is the setting in the lab and all descriptions are based on this. The name of your computer shall be "vcae".
+You need to install the guest additions. Without the guest additions, the interaction with the host system is not working (file sharing / Clipboard). Run "Virtuelle Maschine -> VMWare Tools installieren" in the VMWare menu. Then run the following:
+<code>
+cd
+mkdir vmware
+cp /media/caeuser/VMwareTools-<versionnumber> vmware
+cd vmware
+tar -xvzf VMwareTools-<versionnumber>
+cd vmware-tools-distrib
+sudo ./vmware-install.pl
+</code>
+Say "yes" to all questions...
