This series of posts covers the installation of\u00a0WeBWork<\/a>. This post, Part III of the series, has instructions for installing Ubuntu and WeBWork within VirtualBox.<\/p>\n

Creating a New Virtual Machine<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first step requires the configuration of a new virtual machine in VirtualBox. This new virtual machine will be used to install a copy of Ubuntu with WeBWork. To configure a new virtual machine, you must click New<\/em> from the VirtualBox Manager. The images below show the progression of steps and my selected settings when configuring a new virtual machine. Please customize these settings according to your preferences and system. For example, if you are using a 32-bit system, please make sure to select Ubuntu (32 bit)<\/em> when prompted, as opposed to the 64-bit option that I selected.<\/p>\n

Downloading the Ubuntu Live DVD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next, you must download a copy of Ubuntu to install within the new virtual machine. In addition to offering detailed instructions for installing WeBWork from scratch, the WeBWork Wiki<\/a> also offers a Live DVD<\/em> that has a pre-configured installation of Ubuntu, WeBWork, and the other applications that are required. This is what will be used to install WeBWork on your system. The ISO image of the Live DVD can be downloaded from the WeBWork Wiki Live DVD website<\/a>.\u00a0If you are using a 64-bit system, you can install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, but if you are using a 32-bit system, you must use the 32-bit version. The following links can be used to download the most recent ISO files that were available at the time of this post, hosted by the University of Rochester (UR) and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).<\/p>\n
