The wonderful Ubuntu terminal is freely available for Windows 10 using this tool you are going to install Ubuntu on Windows 10. As any Linux user knows, it’s the command line terminal where the magic happens. It’s perfect for file management, development, remote administration and a thousand other tasks. The Ubuntu terminal for Windows has many of the same features you’ll find using the terminal on Ubuntu:. The unrivaled breadth of packages, updates, and security features.
Oct 16, 2018 - This article takes you through installing Ubuntu as a dual boot on a Dell PC with a Windows 8 through 10 operating system. How to write a USB stick with Windows.
Bash, Z-Shell, Korn and other shell environments without virtual machines or dual-booting. Run native tools such as SSH, git, apt and dpkg directly from your Windows computer. A huge community of friendly, approachable users Currently, applications that require a graphical interface will not work from the Ubuntu terminal. If stability and privacy are essential for your installation, consider waiting for the Windows 10 Fall Creator update, due October 2017. With this release, installing the Ubuntu terminal won’t require Windows Insider membership.

If not, open the following link in your favorite web browser: To enroll, sign in using the same Microsoft personal account you use for Windows 10 and follow the Register your personal account link from the Insider Program getting started page.
Accept the terms and conditions to complete the registration. You now need to open Windows 10 Settings from the Start menu, select ‘Updates & Security’ followed by ‘Windows Insider Program’ from the menu on the left. If necessary, click on the ‘Fix me’ button if Windows complains that ‘Your Windows Insider Program account needs attention’. Windows Insider content From the Windows Insider Program pane, select ‘Get Started’. If your Microsoft account isn’t linked to your Windows 10 installation, sign in when prompted and select the account you want to link to your installation.
You will now be able to select what kind of content you’d like to receive from the Windows Insider Program. The least disruptive is the default option, Just fixes, apps, and drivers. Select Confirm (twice) and allow Windows to restart your machine. After booting, it’s likely you’ll need to wait for your machine to install a variety of updates before you can move on to the next step. Also Read- Activate the Windows Subsystem for Linux While Ubuntu does appear when searched for within the Windows Store, it currently needs to be installed and activated separately, starting with the Windows Subsystem for Linux:. Search the Start menu for ‘Windows features’ and select the resultant control panel. Scroll through the Windows Features pane and enable Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta).
Press OK to activate the changed configuration When prompted, restart your machine. Enable Developer Mode After your PC has restarted, one final step is required before we can install Ubuntu for Windows, and that’s enabling Developer Mode. Enabling this allows you to install and run apps from outside the Windows Store:. Open the Settings pane from the Start menu. Select Update & security and then For developers from the left-hand menu. Enable the Developer mode toggle and accept the warning Also Read- Install Ubuntu on Windows 10 Open the Windows Command Prompt.
The easiest way to do this is to type cmd into the Start menu and run the default result. When the command prompt appears, type bash. The output from this command will announce that Ubuntu for Windows is about to be installed. Type y to continue. The package will now be downloaded and installed – you may also be asked whether to install packages for your specific locality/region. Finally, you’ll be asked for a username and password specific to your Ubuntu installation. These don’t need to be the same as your Windows 10 credentials.
With this step complete, you’ll find yourself at the Ubuntu bash command line.
Windows would then fetch necessary files and would automatically install and enable Hyper-V for you (It would require a system restart.) Upon restart, you can search in your Start Menu for Hyper-V manager and we can create our first new Virtual machine, but first let’s answer the following questions. Note: If you are here just for the Ubuntu installation you can skip the two sections below and go directly over to Creating a VM section. Why use Hyper-V? If you are a going to use a hypervisor why not go with VirtualBox? You can use it on Mac, Windows and most Linux distributions and, if you are already familiar with it, you won’t have to struggle with an entirely new GUI and a whole different set of terminologies. You will be correct to make that argument. But there are two main reasons why you would want to use Hyper-V.
First, unlike VirtualBox, Hyper-V is extensively used on servers. It is what we call, a Type-1 hypervisor. It is used on servers from small businesses to large scale Cloud deployment.
By Type-1 we mean that Hyper-V takes over soon after the BIOS finishes its routine and everything (including your main Windows installation) gets provisioned on top of Hyper-V. You will see an entry for your Windows 10 ‘host’ system in Hyper-V menu as well. Second reason to use Hyper-V is because it is needed for running Docker on Windows.

This is the strongest reason. The support for Linux containers as well as Windows containers makes room for developers to work on a very, very wide range of platforms. What’s more is that Docker for Windows is now, indicating that the corporations are taking it very seriously and you would have very low hindrance in testing your deployments locally.
It makes sense to use the same hypervisor for your local virtual machines and for production environment. So you can connect them via the same virtual network and test your applications easily. Why not to use Hyper-V?
Now Hyper-V does take its toll on you and your system. One of the major demerits is the usability. Designed for large scale data centers Hyper-V does have an overwhelming number of knobs and dials that may distract you from your task. On top of that, you can’t use VirtualBox alongside Hyper-V, on the same host, without having complications. Remember, Hyper-V is type-1 hypervisor.If you do install VirtualBox on a system which already has Hyper-V enabled you will get support for only 32-bit operating systems on VirtualBox and you are stuck with Hyper-V for 64-bit OSes. Okay, enough with the Hyper-V technicalities, let’s get started with Ubuntu 18.04 installation. Creating VM You can get your copy of Ubuntu 18.04 official installation media from, if you want the desktop edition.
Once the download is finished open Hyper-V manager (you can search for it from the start menu). The first thing you will notice is that your host system will show up in the menu under Hyper-V Manager (in my case, the name is set to ANGMAR).
Now on the right hand column you can see an option to which say New. Click on it and select Virtual Machine from here on it is a simple setup wizard which most PC users are familiar with. Since we will not be using the Default options, let’s click on Next.
Now give your VM a name and the location where you want to store it (we will let it stay at it’s default value) and click Next. Next we have to select whether the machine is of Generation 1 or 2.
Selecting Generation 1 will cover the widest possible use cases, so let’s stick to that. For memory, we can go with 2048MB. If you have a larger RAM, consider allocating more memory. The next step is to configure networking, you get two options, Not Connected and Default Switch. Because we intend on running updates, and downloading new packages, we will go with the Default Switch option and click on Next. For those who are interested, the Default Switch offers your VM internet connectivity by using the host connection via NAT.
The next step is to connect a virtual hard disk. Here, the default values would work just fine.
Although Ubuntu desktop can run on disks as small as 25GB. The last step is to connect the installation media (the Ubuntu.iso file that we downloaded earlier). Select the option which says “Install an operating system from a bootable CD/DVD-ROM” and then select the Image file suboption, and using the browse option locate the.iso file for Ubuntu installation in your filesystem. Click next to review your configurations one last time and then Finish to finalize your settings. Starting and Accessing Your VM You can now see the newly created VM called Ubuntu in the list of VMs. Simply right-click on it and select the Start option to start the VM. You will notice that the Hyper-V manager would start showing up the VM’s resource utilization (CPU and memory usage).
But no Window would pop up showing the Ubuntu live CD booting. To attach a virtual console to this VM, you need to right-click on it again and select Connect. This will connect you with the VM and you can now proceed with the main Ubuntu installation guide from here on. If you need further guidance with Ubuntu 18.04 installation, you can check out where the installation is done on VirtualBox. You can skip the intro and VirtualBox specific parts and go ahead to Step 3 and follow from there.
