Proxmox is a free and open-source virtualization platform that allows you to create and manage virtual machines and containers. Here’s how to install Proxmox:

  1. Download the Proxmox ISO image from the official website: https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads
  2. Burn the ISO image to a CD/DVD or create a bootable USB drive using a tool like Rufus.
  3. Insert the bootable USB drive into the computer where you want to install Proxmox and reboot the system.
  4. In the boot menu, select the option to boot from the USB drive.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the installation process.
  6. Once the installation is complete, you can access the Proxmox web interface by typing the IP address of the server into a web browser on another computer on the same network. The default URL is: https://IP_address:8006/
  7. Log in to the web interface using the username “root” and the password that you created during the installation process.
  8. You can now create and manage virtual machines and containers using the Proxmox web interface.

That’s it! You have successfully installed Proxmox on your computer and are ready to start creating virtual machines and containers.
