This is the sixth day of my participation in Gwen Challenge

background

The author is used to using Windows computer for software development, relatively unfamiliar to Linux operation. However, to be a qualified developer, the Linux operating system must also be well understood. Therefore, I hope to build a Linux code development environment by myself. On the one hand, IT is to leave the comfort zone and pursue new challenges. On the other hand, it is also to get familiar with various Linux commands and the use of various resources, so that I can start a new breakthrough in my understanding of programming.

The virtual machine

In order to find such an environment, I began to do some research. First, I wanted to directly build a Linux operating system locally through virtual machines, so I consulted relevant materials and started a series of practices.

Vmware workstation download

Since vmware Workstation is available for only 30 days, I downloaded the free vmware Workstation 16 Player and felt it worked perfectly.

Centos Image Download

Isoredirect.centos.org/centos/8/is…

I choose the latest version of Centos 8.4, download the DVD version, the file is relatively large, please wait patiently when downloading.

Environmental installation

After following a series of successful installation steps, I finally entered my centos environment.

When I configure centos, I set the parameter as 2 cores 2 GB memory.

With the installation successful, I finally had a Linux host on my Windows PC

xshell

Because the network connection between the VIRTUAL machine and the Windows host I choose is NAT, the virtual machine can also access the external network. Meanwhile, in order to facilitate my operation on the Windows host, I also downloaded Xshell to connect the virtual machine.

Run the ipconfig command on the VM to view its IP address.

Log in to the VM using Xshell and the password.

Login succeeded, but I found a special card in the command line interface when OPERATING virtual machine in Xshell.

Not only Xshell, even when I typed some commands in the VIRTUAL machine, it was not very smooth, and I had to wait for a long time to install some software packages, which seriously affected my use experience.

There are also articles on virtual machine stuttering, such as this one, vmware Virtual Machine Running stuttering Cause analysis and Solutions.

My goal is to study Linux, and solving virtual machine stutter is not my focus right now.

So, I had to give up the practice of local virtual machine, all helpless, had to investigate some cloud host, to see if there is a suitable choice.
