+===== Setup VMware and Ubuntu (Windows users) =====
+With VMware Workstation Player installed open **vmplayer**.
+{{ :ip:ws2021:lets_plaiy:vmware.png?400 |}}
+In the interface click on **Create a New Virtual Machine**, this will open a window where you must check **Installer disc image file (iso)**, press the button **Browse**, browse and select the Ubuntu 20.04 file you downloaded earlier (usually called //ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso//), then press **Next**.
+{{ :ip:ws2021:lets_plaiy:create_vm_vmware.png?600 |}}
+Fill in the information that your virtual machine will have and press **Next**.
+{{ :ip:ws2021:lets_plaiy:vmware_info.png?600 |}}
+Give a name to the virtual machine, for example Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa) and then press **Next**
+{{ :ip:ws2021:lets_plaiy:vm_name.png?600 |}}
+Keep the next window as it is and press **Next**.
+{{ :ip:ws2021:lets_plaiy:vm_size.png?600 |}}
+In the next window VMware Workstation Player adjusts the settings based on your computer so there is no need to change anything unless you know exactly what you are doing. Finally press **Finish**.
+{{ :ip:ws2021:lets_plaiy:vm_end.png?600 |}}
+VMware will take care of configuring the operating system installation, so just wait until it is complete, you will see something like this.
+{{ :ip:ws2021:lets_plaiy:ubuntu_ready.png?600 |}}
+At this point the virtual machine is ready for you to start familiarizing yourself with the environment and the user interface.
