Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following things ready:

• You need a system with at least 4 GB of memory and a Multi-core processor.
• Depending on how you manage the infrastructure in your team, the machine could be an instance on a cloud platform (such as AWS, DigitalOcean, or any other cloud platform), a bare metal machine, or it could be a VM (on VMware vSphere or any other server virtualization software).
• The machine should have Ubuntu 16.04 installed on it. Choose an LTS release version.
• Check for administrator privileges; the installation might ask for an admin username and password.
