Getting The Ubuntu Thing Working

The Main Idea

Get a datascience environment built on a VM.

In theory, this gives me a few things:

  • The umph of my overbuilt desktop machine minus a few gig of ram and a couple cores
  • The ability to SSH/VNC/RDP in and just use my chromebook as a cheap thin client when Im out and about.
  • Experience dealing with the install and usage of Drill, Zeppelin, and some other tools.

So far I've:

  1. Downloaded the Bionic ubuntu iso
  2. fired up a new virtualbox vm with 12g ram, 100g of hd space
  3. waited while it inits the drive space
  • Egads this takes a while
  1. Read this guide to setup
  2. Done this:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake g++ gfortran git vim pkg-config python-dev software-properties-common wget
sudo apt-get autoremove
