What is the method for installing Ubuntu on a hard drive?

When installing Ubuntu, you can use the following method for hard drive installation:

1. Download the installation image file (ISO file) of Ubuntu and create a bootable disk. Software like Rufus or UNetbootin can be used to write the ISO file onto a USB flash drive.
2. Insert the boot disk into the computer and boot up the computer. Make sure to select boot from USB device when the computer starts up.
3. Access the Ubuntu installation program. When booting up, a screen will appear, choose “Install Ubuntu” to begin the installation process.
4. Choose your language and keyboard layout. During the installation process, you will be asked to select the language and keyboard layout you want to use.
5. Choose the installation type. Select “Something else” to manually partition the hard drive, or choose “Erase disk and install Ubuntu” to automatically partition the hard drive.
6. If you choose to partition manually, you can create, delete, and adjust partitions in the following steps. Make sure to mount the root directory (/) partition to where you want to install Ubuntu.
7. If you choose automatic partitioning, the installer will automatically partition the disk for you and mount the root directory (/) partition.
8. You can configure additional settings during the installation process, such as setting the computer’s hostname, time zone, and user account.
9. Click on the “Install” button to start the installation process. During the installation process, you can set up WiFi connection and choose whether to download updates and third-party software as needed.
