Temporary Working Environment

[jeff1evesque]

For the remaining week, we have a temporary Windows 7 machine:

Windows edition
Windows 7 Professional
Copyright 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved
Service Pack1

System
Manufacturer: Dell
Model: Precision M4600
Rating: 6.9 Windows Experience Index
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 16.0 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System
Pen and Touch: No Pen or Touch Input is available for the Display

Hard drive
File system: NTFS
Capacity: 237 GB

Unfortunately, we will not be setting up a dual-boot. Also, this machine already implements VMware Player 5.0.2 build-1031769. So, we will find the corresponding version of Ubuntu Server to work within the VMware Player.

Since the issue of setting up working environments has come up more than several times across other projects, it serves precursor for something fantastic. More specifically, we will research how to create a bootable USB drive.

After installing Ubuntu Server 14.04, we install the Gnome Desktop:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

which allows us to run the server with a GUI interface.

We have successfully implemented the following:

• VMware Player
• Ubuntu Server 14.04
• Gnome Desktop

The following packages were installed:

sudo apt-get install git-core
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ phpmyadmin

Then, we configure GIT, as we did in the GIT subsection. Finally, we set the file permission on the entire project, and initialize all GIT Submodules.
