== Live Linux in a VM on your local computer ==
This is the intermediate option to have Linux running on your local computer provided you have hardware that supports virtualization and have administrative privileges on your local computer.
For this method to work correctly, verify your CPU supports hardware virtualization (both '''VT-x''' and '''VT-d''' should be available and enabled). You can verify this by looking up details of your CPU specifications from the CPU manufacturer's website. The rest of this tutorial assumes your CPU supports virtualization and is enabled both in the BIOS and in your operating system. You need to install software on your local computer, which requires administrative privileges.
=== Step 2 - Download and unzip Ubuntu VirtualBox VM ===
Download the [https://senecafts.senecacollege.ca/link/jfiXfRElQbFFHhGoACYvnV GXpTmoPbg4GU32nboZnOmY Ubuntu VirtualBox VM for Intel/AMD] (requires MySeneca authentication).
# Move the downloaded VM zip file into a separate folder.
