Proxmox
is a very powerful Debian based open-source virtual environment (PVE). It offers the ability to manage
the virtual server with the Linux OpenVZ and KVM technologies. The other
feature of Proxmox built-in web interface will help the users to manage

The above-mentioned points are just for the introduction and it has a lot of other features. We will discuss that in the coming posts and the next, we are moving to Proxmox Installation. The first thing is to download the setup file from the Proxmox site.
I had already downloaded the package from the above site so we can start the installation from the scrap. Here I am using VMware Workstation for demonstrating the installation, you can also try with the desktop computer.
Installation of Proxmox in VMware Workstation / Desktop / Laptop
As
I said above, we are using VMware to demonstrating this article. I had already added
the bootable ISO so we are going to Power On the VM.
Step
7 – Configure the Interfaces, We need to enter the correct IP Address and gateway

in the same adapter IP range.
Step
9 – The Proxmox VE installation started. It will take a few minutes to complete
the installation.
