Machine Set-Up

The Easy Way (install_tool.sh)

• Get a fresh linux VM with the following minimum specs:

  • Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
  • 2 cores
  • 4GB RAM
  • 128GB Standard SSD

• Download and run the install_tool.sh script

  • This script will install all the tools and place all the files needed for the course
  • This might take a while (est 30-45m), so open Youtube or something
  • You will be able to choose between installing all units or just one unit at a time
