 INSTALLATION OF UBUNTU

What is ubuntu?
Ubuntu is a free and open-source operating system and Linux distribution based on Debian. Ubuntu is
offered in three official editions: Ubuntu Desktop for personal computers, Ubuntu Server for servers and
the cloud, and Ubuntu Core for the Internet of things devices.

Below is a step by step process to install ubuntu. This is the most common method
used to install ubuntu, which involves manually creating a partition. But there is one
more easy but uncommon method to install. Both methods are reliable, it is up to you
whether you want to have granular control over the partition sizes, if not feel free to try
method II.

13
 Step 1: Preparing for
installation
● Downloads:-
○ Download Ubuntu 16.04 ISO Image as per your system
architecture using the following link:
Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit Desktop
Download page
○ Power ISO

● Creating a partition (skip if using method 2):

○ The first thing you need to take care of is to create free space on the
computer hard disk in case the system is installed on a single
partition.

Log in to your Windows machine with an administrative account and right-click on the Start Menu ->
Command Prompt (Admin) in order to enter Windows Command-Line.

14
○ Once in CLI, type diskmgmt.msc on prompt and the Disk
Management utility should open. From here, right-click on C:
partition and select Shrink Volume in order to resize the partition.
○
C:\Windows\system32\>diskmgmt.msc

Shrink Volume to Resize Partition

○ On Shrink C: enter a value on space to shrink in MB (use at least

30000 MB depending on the C: partition size)(60000 MB
recommended) and hit Shrink to start partition resize as illustrated below
(the value of space shrink from below image is lower and only used
for demonstration purposes).

15
 Once space has been resized you will see a new unallocated space on the hard
drive. Leave it as default and reboot the computer inorder to proceed with Ubuntu 16.04
installation.

Create Windows Partition for Ubuntu 16.04 Installation

Windows Partition for Dual Boot Ubuntu 16.04

● Making a bootable drive:-

16
a. Install the PowerISO in windows and open it.
b. Insert the USB drive you intend to boot from.
c. Choose the menu "Tools > Create Bootable USB Drive". The "Create
Bootable USB Drive" dialog will popup. If you are using
Windows Vista or above operating system, you need to confirm the
UAC dialog to continue.

d. In "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog, click ".

.."
button to open the iso file of Windows operating system.
e. Select the correct USB drive from the "Destination USB Drive" list if
multiple USB drives are connected to the computer.
f. Choose the proper writing method. "USB-HDD" is recommended.

17
g. Click "Start" button to start creating a bootable USB drive.

h. PowerISO will alert you that all data on the USB drive will be
destroyed. Click "OK" to continue.

18
The program will start writing the USB drive, and showing the progress information. You should get the message
"Writing USB drive completed successfully." after the operation completes.

19
● MAKE A BACKUP:-
a. This is just to emphasize that you can lose your data if something
went wrong, so it is better to make a backup of some really
important files now.
● INSTALLING UBUNTU:-
a. Place the USB stick or DVD in the appropriate drive, reboot the
machine and instruct the BIOS/UEFI to boot-up from the DVD/USB
by pressing a special function key (usually F12, F10 or F2
depending on the vendor specifications).
b. Once the media boot-up a new grub screen should appear on your
monitor. From the menu select Install Ubuntu and hit Enter

to continue.

20
c.After the boot media finishes loading into RAM you will end
up with a completely functional Ubuntu system running in
live mode.
d.On the Launcher hit on the second icon from top, Install
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and the installer utility will start(this
may also start automatically). Choose the language you
wish to perform the installation and click on the Continue
button to proceed further.

21
e.Now select the second option if you wish to have the third
party softwares or multimedia drivers preinstalled.

f. Now it’s time to select an Installation, check the

Something else option and hit on Continue
button to proceed further.
The option Erase disk and install Ubuntu should be avoided on
boot because is potentially dangerous and will wipe out your disk.

22
g. On this step, we’ll create our custom partition layout for Ubuntu
16.04. On this guide will recommend that you create two
partitions, one for root and the other for the swap. To create the first
partition, the root partition, select the free space (the shrink space from
Windows created earlier) and hit on the + icon below. On partition
settings use the following configurations and hit OK to apply
changes:
■ Size = at least 30000 MB (this would be whatever space
you have shrunk minus 10000MB)
■ Type for the new partition = Primary
■ Location for the new partition = Beginning
■ Use as = EXT4 journaling file system
■ Mount point = /

23
 Then click on the 10000MB free space again and hit the plus button this time
select
■ Use as = SWAP Area
And hit OK.

24
h. When finished, hit the Install Now button in order to apply
changes to disk and start the installation process.

i. A pop-up window should appear to inform you about swap

space. Ignore the alert by pressing on the Continue button.

Next, a new pop-up window will ask you if you agree with committing
changes to disk. Hit Continue to write changes to disk and the
installation process will now start.

j. On the next screen adjust your machine physical location by selecting

a city nearby from the map. When done hit Continue to move
ahead.
k. Next, select your keyboard layout and click on the
Continue button.
l. Pick up a username and password for your administrative sudo
account, enter a descriptive name for your computer and hit
Continue to finalize the installation.

These are all the settings required for customizing Ubuntu

16.04 installation. From here on the installation process is automatically
Started and reached to end

25
m.After the installation process reaches its end hit on Restart
Now button in order to complete the installation.
n.The machine will reboot into the Grub menu, where for ten
seconds, you will be presented to choose what OS you wish
to use further: Ubuntu 16.04 or Microsoft
Windows.
