The steps to install the Ubuntu system are as follows:

  1. Download the Ubuntu installation image: Visit the official Ubuntu website (https://ubuntu.com/download) to download the Ubuntu installation image file that is suitable for your version and system architecture.
  2. Create a bootable disk: Use an empty USB flash drive (at least 4GB) or DVD disc to write the downloaded Ubuntu image file onto the bootable disk. You can use tools like Rufus (https://rufus.ie/) or Etcher (https://www.balena.io/etcher/).
  3. Configure BIOS settings: Restart the computer and enter the BIOS setup interface. The method to enter BIOS settings may vary depending on the brand and model of the computer. In the BIOS settings, change the boot order to start from a USB device or optical disc first.
  4. To install Ubuntu system: insert the boot disk into the computer and restart it. The computer will boot from the boot disk and display the Ubuntu installation interface. Follow the prompts on the interface, select to install Ubuntu, and proceed with the required steps including choosing the language, time zone, keyboard layout, etc.
  5. Partition Setup: During the installation process, you will be asked to choose your partition setup. You can choose to install Ubuntu on the entire hard drive or keep partitions for other operating systems. If you are installing dual systems, it is recommended to back up your data before installing Ubuntu and ensure there is enough available space.
  6. Create a User Account: During the installation process, you will be prompted to create a user account. Enter your personal information, such as a username and password. This account will serve as your primary account in the Ubuntu system.
  7. Installation completed: After installation is finished, restart the computer. Remove the boot disk, and the computer will boot from the hard drive and enter the installed Ubuntu system.

This is a basic installation process, the specific steps may vary depending on the brand and model of the computer. During the installation process, please read and understand the prompts and instructions on the installation interface to ensure a correct installation.
