 lts button which is going to start the download of the ubuntu iso file you can see now this file is around 3.4 gigabyte file so it might take some time to download this iso file so i have already downloaded this iso file so i'm going to cancel this download and i'm going to show you how this file looks like so after the download you can see this file looks like this with the name ubuntu 22.04 desktop hyphen amd64.iso file and now we are going to start the installation of ubuntu on VMware workstation player so on VMware workstation player you just need to click on this link which says create a new virtual machine and here we are going to choose the third option which says i will install the operating system later and then click on next now here choose the Linux option here and then you can choose the ubuntu 64-bit version

 

 from here then click on next here you can give the name to your virtual machine i'm going to name my virtual machine as ubuntu 22.04 64-bit and this will be the location where your virtual machine will be saved so if you want to change this click on browse and then from here you can select the directory in which you want to save this virtual machine so i'm going to save this virtual machine in the ubuntu directory inside my the directory and then click on next and then you can specify the capacity of the virtual machine so i generally choose a 100 gb for this so i'm going to just uh give 100 gb for this virtual machine also i'm going to choose split virtual disk into multiple files option here and then click on next now here on the next window you can customize the hardware

 

 so click on customize hardware and then you have the memory which is 4gb you can increase or decrease the memory depending on the capacity of your computer i'm going to increase it to 8 gb because my computer allows this and then i can choose the processors by default two processors are assigned to my virtual machine i can assign more processors so for example i am going to just choose four cores for my virtual machine then i have the option to choose the new cd dvd from here i can provide the path of my iso file so i'm going to select use iso file image and then click on browse and then i can browse to the location where my ubuntu iso file is located which i have downloaded
