Experiment 1
Objective: Linux Basic Installation

Step 1: Download and install VirtualBox

Go to the website of Oracle VirtualBox and get the latest stable version from here https://www.virtualbox.org/

Step 2: Download the Linux ISO

Next, we need to download the ISO file of the Linux distribution. We can get this image from the official
website of the Linux distribution you are trying to use.

Step 3: Install Linux using VirtualBox

Now we have installed VirtualBox and we have downloaded the ISO for Linux. We are now set to install Linux
in VirtualBox.

Start VirtualBox, and click on the New symbol. Give the virtual OS a relevant name.

Allocate RAM to the virtual OS. My system has 8GB of RAM and I decided to allocate 2GB of it.

Create a virtual disk. This serves as the hard disk of the virtual Linux system. It is where the virtual system will
store its files.

I recommend using the VDI file type here.

We can choose either the “Dynamically allocated” or the “Fixed size” option for creating the virtual hard disk.

The recommended size is 10 GB. However, I suggest giving it more space if possible. 15-20 GB is preferable.

Experiment 2
Objective: Linux shell and Basic shell commands

Study of Unix/Linux general purpose utility command list obtained from (date, time, cal, whoami, cd, ls,
mkdir, rmdir, echo, kill, history, chmod, pwd ) commands.

(i) Date: date command prints the current date time.

(ii) Cal: cal command is used to display a calendar in your shell, by default it will display the current month

(iii) Whoami: whoami command will tell you which user account you are using in this system.

(iv) mkdir, cd, echo, ls: To create the new directory, To change the position from one directory to another, To
create a new file in that directory, To show the list of files/folders in a particular directory.

(v) tree: tree is a recursive directory listing command or program that produces a depth-indented listing of files.

(vi) pwd: It tells in which directory we are currently in.

(vii) history:
