Installing VMWare and Linux

Lecture Overview

 

In this lecture, we cover how to get VMWare and Linux then setup Linux in your VM. NOTE: If you already have Mint installed from the Linux or Cybersecurity class class, you can continue to use that VM. There's no reason to install Linux again if you already have a working VM.
