Standalone Linux Host
If you are using
the virtualized linux host image we provided, you can
skip this section, because the virtual linux host
already has all required software components pre-installed.
To install a new linux host takes lots of time and knowledge of detailed
configuration. For new beginners in the linux world,
to save your time, using a pre-installed virtualized linux
host will be much more easier.
