Set up Ubuntu linux on VirtualBox
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following the steps to install Ubuntu linux on VirtualBox. This
|
|
document is prepared for the user who failed to install phonopy for
|
|
some reason. Basically the questions on this procedure are not
|
|
accepted in the phonopy mailing list.
|
|
|
|
The setup of Ubuntu linux on VirtualBox is quite easy. Ubuntu (server)
|
|
linux on VMware player can be set up similarly.
|
|
|
|
1. Install VirtualBox
|
|
|
|
VirtualBox is an open source virtualization system. VirtualBox runs
|
|
on Windows, Mac, Linux, etc. On Windows and Mac, the explanation
|
|
of how to install is unnecessary. On Ubuntu linux, it can be
|
|
installed using ``apt-get``::
|
|
|
|
% sudo apt-get install virtualbox
|
|
|
|
2. Download Ubuntu Server image
|
|
|
|
The Ubuntu Server image is found at
|
|
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download. Alternatively it
|
|
may be downloaded from the mirror sites near your location. For
|
|
example, the file name is ``ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso``.
|
|
|
|
3. Create a new virtual machine
|
|
|
|
You can specify parameters, but it is also OK just clicking next,
|
|
next, ...
|
|
|
|
|vbox1|
|
|
|
|
Then you can create an empty virtual machine image.
|
|
|
|
|vbox2|
|
|
|
|
To install ubuntu server, set the install image as the virtual CD
|
|
device from Settings -> Storage, and click 'OK'.
|
|
|
|
|vbox3|
|
|
|
|
Start the virtual machine, then the installation of Ubuntu linux
|
|
will start.
|
|
|
|
|vbox4|
|
|
|
|
In the install process, you may just click 'continue', ...,
|
|
'install', etc. The computer's name and user name are set as you
|
|
like.
|
|
|
|
4. System setting of the virtual machine
|
|
|
|
Boot the virtual machine and login to the ubuntu linux with the user
|
|
name and password.
|
|
|
|
The terminal emulator is opened by 'Alt' + 'Ctrl' + 'T' or from the
|
|
top-left corner seraching 'terminal'. What has to do first is
|
|
update the system by::
|
|
|
|
% sudo apt-get update
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
% sudo apt-get upgrade
|
|
|
|
Some packages are to be installed for convenience::
|
|
|
|
% sudo apt-get install openssh-server
|
|
|
|
'vim', 'zsh', 'screen', 'aptitude' may be also useful.
|
|
Then install phonopy following :ref:`install`.
|
|
|
|
5. Using phonopy from the host computer of the virtual machine
|
|
|
|
Phonopy can be used from the host computer (the machine where
|
|
VirtualBox was installed).
|
|
|
|
First, the network device of the virtual machine has to be
|
|
modified. If NAT is used, the port-forwarding setting is required,
|
|
Settings -> Network -> Port forwarding, right click, Insert new
|
|
rule, Host port -> 2222, Guest port -> 22. You can login to the
|
|
virtual machine, e.g., by terminal::
|
|
|
|
% ssh -l username -p 2222 localhost
|
|
|
|
(scp can be used with ``-P 2222`` option.)
|
|
|
|
If Bridged adapter is used, you have to know the IP address of the
|
|
virtual machine. Login to the virtual machine and in the terminal::
|
|
|
|
% ifconfig
|
|
|
|
The IP-address is found after ``inet addr`` of (probably)
|
|
eth0. Then you can login to the virtual machine by the usual manner
|
|
with the IP address.
|
|
|
|
If the host computer is a usual linux or Mac (with the terminal in
|
|
X11), X-forwarding is easily used by::
|
|
|
|
% ssh -X -l username -p 2222 localhost
|
|
|
|
or::
|
|
|
|
% ssh -X IPADDRESS_OF_VIRTUALMACHINE
|
|
|
|
This is very useful because the plot can be forwarded to the host
|
|
computer.
