Download default Ubuntu 20.04 image: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?version=20.04&architecture=amd64

or choose your preferred version of Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com/#download

Install VirtualBox (tested on version 6.1): https://www.virtualbox.org/

In most cases, default options are acceptable. The following changes were made:

  • 8196MB of memory
  • 2 processor cores
  • 40 GB of hard disk space
  • 96 MB of video memory with 3D acceleration enabled
  • Minimal Ubuntu installation

Skip all post-installation questions about location sharing and linking in accounts. Click Activities and search for "Displays." 1440x900 resolution is preferred for a host with a 1080p display.

Open a terminal and run this command to get started:

sudo apt install python3-pip git

Follow along with the instructions, installing any other packages as prompted. I chose to use the global installation option and default setup path like this:

git clone https://github.com/crowelab/PyIR

cd PyIR/

sudo pip3 install .

sudo pyir setup

sudo permission is required for setup if the global installation option is chosen. It is not required for normal operations in PyIR or running setup using the single user option.
