M 111: Debian Virtual Machine (15 pts)

What You Need for This Project

A computer with an Internet connection.

Purpose

This gives you a Debian Linux system to use on top of a Mac or Windows box.

Task 1: Install a Hypervisor

Install VMware, VirtualBox, or some other virtualization software on your machine.

If you are new to virtualization, I recommend these products, which are both free:

For Windows: VMware Workstation Player
For Mac: VMware Fusion

Task 2: Download and Import a Linux Virtual Machine

Mac M1, M2, or M3 Users
You need to download an ARM64 version of Debian instead of the prebuilt machines referenced below.
You can get the ISO here:
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/arm64/iso-cd/

Download the VMWare image for the latest version of Debian 12 from https://www.linuxvmimages.com/images/debian-12/.

Unzip the file. A folder is created with several files, including an .ovf file.

Open VMware. From the menu bar, click File, Import. Import the .ovf file.

Launch your Linux machine.

Installing Android Debug Bridge

On your Debian machine, at the top left of the desktop, click Activities and search for Terminal.

In the Terminal, execute these commands:

sudo apt update sudo apt install android-tools-adb -y

M 111.1: adb Version (15 pts)
In your Debian machine, open a Terminal window and execute this command:
adb version
The flag is covered by a green rectangle in the image below.
