Then we need to choose an appropriate Ubuntu ISO image for our virtual machine. In my case I am using a <a href="http://releases.ubuntu.com/xenial/">Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus)</a> for <strong>32-bit PC i836</strong>.</p> <p>In VMware Player, create a new virtual machine using the wizard. Assign your preferred amount of memory and storage space. Now start the machine, and select the Ubuntu <code>.iso</code> image file when prompted. Proceed with the installation and select the <em>Erase Disk and Install Ubuntu</em> option when prompted.</p> <p>~&gt; I tried using <a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/">VirtualBox</a> for virtualization but I could not successfully install Devstack with it. Probably due to issues on using the correct network adapter. I also tried using Ubuntu 14.04 without success as well. This is why I recommend <strong>Ubuntu 16.04</strong>.</p> <p>Once the installation is finished, restart the virtual machine.</p>
