How to Install Linux Os on Window Os With the Help of Virtualbox

Let me list out the tools and technologies that I have used to Linux OS on the towindow and mac OS.

A brief introduction about RedHat Linux

Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® is the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform.* It’s an open source operating system (OS). It’s the foundation from which you can scale existing apps — and roll out emerging technologies — across bare-metal, virtual, container, and all types of cloud environments.

In this article, we will see the step-by-step (using screenshot) installation on RedHat Linux 8.4, which will help you to understand very easily.

Prerequisites :

HDD minimum : 20 GB RAM minimum : 2 GB (Recommended 4 GB) System Type : 64-bit x86 System Installation kit : Bootable DVD/USB/.iso

Note:

For the demonstration, I will be using a virtual environment (VMware Workstation 15.5.2). This guide assumes that you have your own virtual or standard machine that is ready to install the Rocky Linux 8.4.

iii) System > Installation Destination

Note:
In the screen above, you can see that some options are already selected or filled by default. We will manually configure the rest of the options above according to our requirements. In this section, I am going to start customizing the partition (Installation Destination).

check and click on Done

Note:
In the above window, you can see that we have a virtual disk available of 20GB to install RedHat Linux 8.4. We have two options available to determine how the disk partition will be created (Automatic and Custom). If you choose the Automatic option, the system will configure all partitions automatically. Choosing the “Custom option” will enable you to configure partitions manually. I am opting for a custom partition based on my requirements. Click Done to continue.

Note:
You have the option to select between three different mounting partition schemes on the screen above, which includes Standard, LVM, and LVM Thin Provisioning. By default, the LVM partition is active. If you wish to change the scheme, select the desired option from the drop-down list. Here, I used standard partitioning.

Note:
Disk partitioning is one of the most crucial tasks for every Linux administrator. To properly use the server, we must be very calculative about the partition we should create. In general, most newbies and experienced Windows users who migrate to Linux make the wrong choice when choosing a partition scheme. They usually set up boot, swap, and root (/)partitions. Perhaps this combination is suitable for a home or a desktop system. It is not advisable for production servers due to performance and other issues that may arise. Instead, use the following partitioning scheme:

/boot — 1 GB with xfs filesystem
/ — 8 GB with xfs filesystem
/home — 7 GB with xfs filesystem
/var — 2 GB with xfs filesystem
Swap — 4 GB with swap filesystem

Note:
I have made a 1GB (boot) partition. You can specify the desired size for the boot partition. Typically 1 or 2 GB is fair enough in most cases. Finally, click “Add mount point” to continue.

Note:
As the next step, create the “/” (parent) partition, also known as the “root” partition. In this lab exercise, I’ll use an 8GB partition. To continue, click “Add mount point”.

Note:
In the same way, we can create other partitions (/home, /var, and swap).

Note:

The next step is to click “Accept Changes” to fulfill the summary changes that were made in the disk, which will write all the partitions as shown below:

Note:
Next, click the “Root Password” option on the Installation Summary screen. The root account can be enabled by simply clicking on this option, entering the root password, and clicking “Done.” moving forward to the next step.

Note:
Click “Done” after you enter your root password.

Note:
To create a new user on your system, click “User Creation” on the Installation Summary screen.

Note:
After you enter your local username and password, you will see two checkboxes where you can mark what is important to you and click “Done”.

Note:
Next, we need to review the server software packages. Rocky Linux is automatically selected as a “Server with GUI” package, but you can change this by clicking the “Software Selection” option on the Installation Summary screen. There you can see a list of six choices for the server software that you can choose from. Depending on your requirements, you can choose accordingly. For now, I’ll go with the default. Click “Done” after selecting the method.

Note:
In order to configure “Network & Host Name” during the installation process, you can simply choose the relevant option and enable the Ethernet connection “On”. The IP address is assigned automatically (DHCP), and you can add the hostname as well. Next, click “Done” as shown below:

Step-11: Click “Begin Installation”

Note:
Once we have customized all the relevant options to fit our needs, we can then hit the “Begin Installation” tab to start the installation process as below:
