Downloading Ubuntu Server 21.04<\/h2>\n

To install Ubuntu Server 21.04, you need to download it. Downloading this release of the operating system isn\u2019t difficult. To get it, head over to this link here in your favorite web browser.<\/p>\n

Once on the page, locate the \u201cDownload Ubuntu Server\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse. When you click on it, you\u2019ll be taken to a \u201cGet Ubuntu Server\u201d page, followed by three options to download.<\/p>\n

In this guide, we assume you are installing Ubuntu Server via a physical server (such as a home server) and thus need a USB stick to get it working. With that in mind, locate the \u201cOption 2 \u2013 Manual server installation\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse.<\/p>\n

Upon selecting the \u201cOption 2\u201d button, you\u2019ll be taken to a third page. On this page, you\u2019ll see a few download options. By default, Ubuntu suggests you download Ubuntu Server 20.04.2. This version is the long-term support version, and while helpful, it isn\u2019t what we need.<\/p>\n

Scroll down to \u201cAlternative releases.\u201d Here you\u2019ll find Ubuntu Server 21.04, the latest release of Ubuntu Server. In this area, click on the \u201cDownload Ubuntu Server 21.04\u201d button.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When you select the \u201cDownload Ubuntu 21.04\u201d button, the ISO file will begin downloading to your computer. The ISO file is about 1.1 GB in size, so that it may take a couple of minutes. After the download is done, move on to the next section of the guide.<\/p>\n

Creating the Ubuntu Server 21.04 USB<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to create a bootable USB stick to install Ubuntu Server 21.04. There are quite a few ways to make bootable USB sticks. In this guide, however, we\u2019ll show you how to do it with Etcher.<\/p>\n

Why Etcher? It is cross-platform. It will work on any Mac, Linux, or Windows desktop. So, no matter what OS you are making your Ubuntu Server USB on, the instructions will be the same.<\/p>\n

To get started, you\u2019ll need to download and install the Etcher application. To do that, head over to Etcher.io, download the app, and start it up. Once it is open, follow the instructions below.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> To start, find the \u201cFlash from file\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse. When you select this button, a pop-up browser will appear. Using the pop-up browser, locate the Ubuntu Server ISO file, and select it to add it to Etcher.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Find the \u201cSelect target\u201d button. Then, insert your USB flash drive into the USB port, and select your flash drive in the \u201cSelect target\u201d menu. Once you do that, Etcher will use your USB as the default flashing device.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Find the \u201cFlash!\u201d button, and click on it with the mouse. Selecting this button will begin the flashing process. It may take some time. When the process is complete, plug the USB into your server, and boot from USB to begin the installation process.<\/p>\n

Installing Ubuntu Server 21.04 via USB<\/h2>\n

To start the installation of Ubuntu Server 21.04 via USB, select your language with the welcome menu. You can select your language using the\u00a0Up\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Down\u00a0<\/strong>arrows, as well as the\u00a0Enter\u00a0<\/strong>key.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After selecting your language, choose your keyboard layout. By default, it should auto-detect the layout. If not, look under \u201cLayout\u201d and \u201cVariant\u201d and set your keyboard layout as needed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the keyboard layout configured, you must configure a network connection. By default, your Ubuntu Server (if it is connected via an Ethernet) will autodetect. Select \u201cDone\u201d in the menu to continue. Or configure your network connection using the UI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After networking, Ubuntu Server will ask you to configure your proxy address. If you have one, enter it into the box, and press the\u00a0Enter\u00a0<\/strong>key to confirm it. If you do not have a proxy address, leave it blank and select \u201cDone\u201d to move on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From here, Ubuntu Server will prompt you to add a mirror address. This address will make it easier to install Ubuntu packages, as the mirror will likely be closer to your physical location. Use the default mirror provided, and select \u201cDone.\u201d Or, specify your own in the box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the mirror configured, select your storage installation setup. By default, Ubuntu Server will erase the hard drive it detects (\/dev\/sda usually). Leave it at that, or use the UI to select the hard drive you wish to install Ubuntu Server on using the UI. When done, select \u201cDone\u201d to continue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Upon selecting your disk setup, Ubuntu will do a file system summary. Read it, then select the \u201cDone\u201d button to continue. You\u2019ll then need to enter your name, your server\u2019s name, a username, as well as password information.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After entering your username, you\u2019ll be able to select what server snaps you wish to install. To get these, select with\u00a0Up\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Down\u00a0<\/strong>arrow keys and choose with the\u00a0Space<\/strong> bar. When you\u2019ve chosen all of your apps, select \u201cDone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With all snaps selected, Ubuntu Server will install onto your server. Sit back and wait. When the installation is done, reboot the server.<\/p>\n
