-====== Create your Own Linux Image ======
-===== Install VirtualBox first =====
-Download it directly from https://www.virtualbox.org/ for your host operating system (the operating system on your computer, e.g. Windows or Mac OS).
-===== Use Vagrant to Pull the Basic Ubuntu Image =====
-Adapting the automatic screen resolution with the official Ubuntu 18.04 image running on VirtualBox VM is a problem. Also copy-paste between Windows and the Ubuntu VM sometimes does not work.
-The easiest way for me is to use a vagrant Ubuntu Desktop image provided by the user "peru": https://app.vagrantup.com/peru/boxes/ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64
-It already provides several features which make life easier (some mentioned above).
-Install Vagrant on your local machine.
-Create a meaningful directory, e.g. ''my-ubuntu''.
-Download the vagrant file below into ''my-ubuntu'' by clicking on the link above the code text.
-<file txt vagrantfile>
-Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
-  config.vm.box = "peru/ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64"
-  config.vm.box_version = "20200401.01"
-end
-</file>
-Open a command line interface (CLI) such as Windows ''cmd'' in the directory ''my-ubuntu''. If you type ''dir'' you should see the file ''vagrantfile''.
-On the command line execute ''vagrant up''. This will pull the Ubuntu Desktop image named in the Vagrant file.
-This will start the Ubuntu image in the VirtualBox VM.
-====== Changes in the VM ======
-===== Upgrade the Installed Software =====
-:!: Log in with vagrant / vagrant
-<code>
-sudo apt update
-sudo upgrade update
-</code>
-===== Additional Keyboard Layouts =====
-:!: Log in with vagrant / vagrant
-The default keyboard layout is **English** ''en''. Use the "Settings" App (the gear symbol) to add additional keyboard layouts. You should install at least **German (no dead keys)**. In languages like French with accents above vowels dead keys are used to modify letters, e.g. with a dead key layout pressing ''`'' followed by ''a'' yields ''à''. In plain German it is annoying to be forced to press two keys, namely an accent followed by a black, to get the accent only. The modifier ''no-dead-keys'' eliminates this behavior. If an accent key is pressed the accent is typed immediately.
-After adding more layouts a keyboard selection dropdown menu occurs on the top right of the desktop. Choose your appropriate layout (e.g. en or de).
-===== Add User studi =====
-:!: Log in with vagrant / vagrant
-Execute ''sudo adduser studi''
-Choose the password ''linux123'' and user name ''studi''. Leave the other fields empty.
-Endow the user ''studi'' with comprehensive rights by adding him or her to the relevant user groups:
-''sudo usermod -a -G sudo,dialout,adm,cdrom,dip,plugdev,lpadmin,sambashare studi''
-===== Install Anaconda3 Python Distribution for User studi =====
-:!: Log in with studi / linux123
-Source: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/linux/
-<code>
-# On Debian based systems:
-sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx libegl1-mesa libxrandr2 libxrandr2 libxss1 libxcursor1 libxcomposite1 libasound2 libxi6 libxtst6
-</code>
-In your browser go to https://www.anaconda.com/distribution and choose **Linux Distribution**.
-Download the **lastest Linux installer**! Currently (2020-04-17) it is: \\
-https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh
-You can also use the command ''wget'' is a Linux terminal to download the installer. Open a terminal in the Linux VM pressing ''<Ctrl>-<Alt>-T''
-<code>
-cd ~/Download
-wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh
-sh ./Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh
-</code>
-Read and accept the license and answer the following questions with yes.
-This will install the Anaconda3 Python distribution into the location ''/home/studi/anaconda3''
-==== Conda Environment ====
-:!: If you chose "activate conda environment" during anaconda3 installation it modifies the command line prompt, i.e. \\ ''(base) studi@linux:~$ ''
-See: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1026383/why-does-base-appear-in-front-of-my-terminal-prompt
-===== Thonny =====
-:!: Log in with studi / linux123
-Thonny is a light weight Python editor for beginners: https://thonny.org/
-The Thonny version in the Ubuntu 18.04 Software Center is too old. \\ There are several ways to **install the latest version of Thonny**, e.g.:
-  - Download the latest Thonny bash installation script and execute with bash: ''sh thonny-3.2.7.bash''
-  - If Python3 is installed (e.g. as part of Anaconda3) you can execute: ''pip install thonny''
-<code>
-bash <(curl -s https://thonny.org/installer-for-linux)
