==== 1.1 Choose Installation Media ====

* Select '''“Local install media (ISO image or CDROM)”''' and click '''“Forward”'''.
* Click '''“Browse”''' to select your Ubuntu Server ISO.
* Choose the ISO file you prepared earlier (e.g., <code>/var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu-server.iso</code>) and click '''“Forward”'''.

<span id="choose-operating-system-version-1"></span>
==== 1.2 Choose Operating System Version: ====

* Virtual Machine Manager may automatically detect the OS. If not, search for <code>ubuntu</code> and choose what is closest to your version. When in total doubt, <code>linux generic 2022</code> works.
* Click'''“Forward”'''.

<span id="configure-memory-and-cpu-1"></span>
==== 1.3 Configure Memory and CPU: ====

* Allocate the resources for your VM:
** '''Set RAM''': I would use at LEAST 75% of your machine’s RAM.
** '''Set vCPUs''': I would set this to at least 75% of your CPU’s cores.
* Click “Forward”.

<span id="configure-storage-1"></span>
==== 1.4 Configure Storage: ====

* Select '''Create a disk image for the virtual machine'''.
* I would make this as large as you imagine your entire smartphone backup to be, plus extra for padding.
* What is the size of ALL of your photos, videos, and files on your phone? That’s the size to choose here.
* '''When I say videos, I do not mean things you want to watch at home/on your TV – we will have another setup for that. I mean your personal photo albums/videos recorded on your phone.'''
* Make sure the disk image format is QCOW2. This format supports resizing, and other cool features.
* Click '''“Forward”'''.

<span id="set-up-networking-with-the-bridge-interface-1"></span>
==== 1.5 Set Up Networking with the Bridge Interface ====

* Choose '''“Specify shared device name”''' under '''“Network Selection”'''.
* In the Device Name field, type <code>br0</code> (or whatever name you have given your bridge interface).
* This will allow the VM to grab a static IP from the same network as your host machine, making sure it acts like an independent hardware device.
* Click '''“Forward”'''.

<span id="finish-customize-before-installing-1"></span>
==== 1.6 Finish &amp; Customize Before Installing ====

* Name your virtual machine (e.g., “androidstuff”), something suitable for what this machine will do.
* Before clicking '''“Finish”''', check the box that says '''“Customize configuration before install”'''.
* Click '''“Finish”'''.
