General installation manual for Ubuntu

Note: we only support Ubuntu 20.04. You can use another version or distribution, but we cannot guarantee it will work.

Git installation

First, install git using the package manager.

sudo apt install git

After installation, configure git with your username.

# Run this with the correct email and name
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Docker installation

Install Docker from the Ubuntu repository

sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

After this, restart your computer.

Visual Studio Code

1. Install VSCode using the snap.

   sudo snap install code --classic

2. Install the vscode "Remote - Containers" extension from Microsoft.

   # Note: you might need to reboot before the `vscode` command becomes available.
   code --install-extension ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers

3. Now you are ready to start the lab!
