\marginnote{\define{Torrents} are a way of sharing files and information around the Internet via peer-to-peer file sharing. A file with the \texttt{.torrent} extension is made available to users, which is then opened with a compatible program such as \application{uTorrent}, \application{Deluge}, or \application{Transmission}. These programs download parts of the file from other people all around the world.} When a new version of Ubuntu is released, the download \glspl{server} can get ``clogged'' as large numbers of people try to download Ubuntu at the same time. If you are familiar with using torrents, you can download the torrent file by clicking ``Alternative downloads,'' and then ``BitTorrent download.'' Downloading via torrent may improve your download speed, and will also help to spread Ubuntu to other users worldwide.

\marginnote{While the 64-bit version of Ubuntu is referred to as the ``AMD64'' version, it will work on Intel, AMD, and other compatible 64-bit processors.} Once your download is complete, you will be left with a file called \emph{ubuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso} or similar (\emph{i386} here in the filename refers to the 32-bit version. If you downloaded the 64-bit version, the filename contains \emph{amd64} instead). This file is a \acronym{DVD} image\dash a snapshot of the contents of a \acronym{DVD}\dash which you will need to burn to a \acronym{DVD}.

If your \acronym{PC} is able to boot from a \acronym{USB} stick, you may prefer to use a \acronym{USB} memory stick instead of burning a \acronym{DVD}. Scroll down on the download webpage to the ``Easy ways to switch to Ubuntu'' section and you will find a link to instructions on how to create a bootable \emph{\acronym{USB} stick} in your current operating system. If you select this option, your installation will be running from the \acronym{USB} memory stick. In this case, references to Live \acronym{DVD}, will refer to the \acronym{USB} memory stick.

\marginnote{Alternatively, you can also use your mouse to double-click the ``Install Ubuntu 16.04'' icon that is visible on the desktop when using the Live \acronym{DVD}. This will start the Ubuntu installer.} When you are finished exploring, restart your computer by clicking the ``Power'' button in the top right corner of your screen (a circle with a line through the top) and then select \menu{Restart.} Follow the prompts that appear on screen, including removing the Live \acronym{DVD} and pressing \keystroke{Enter} when instructed, and then your computer will restart. As long as the Live \acronym{DVD} is no longer in the drive, your computer will return to its original state as though nothing ever happened!

\marginnote{Clicking on the underlined ``release notes'' link will open a web page containing any important information regarding the current version of Ubuntu.} At least 8.6~\acronym{GB} of free space on your hard drive is required in order to install Ubuntu. We recommend 15~\acronym{GB} or more. This will ensure that you will have plenty of room to install extra applications later on, as well as store your own documents, music, and photos. To get started, place the Ubuntu \acronym{DVD} in your \acronym{DVD} drive and restart your computer. Your computer should load Ubuntu from the \acronym{DVD}. When you first start from the \acronym{DVD}, you will be presented with a screen asking you whether you want to first try out Ubuntu or install it. Select the language you want to view the installer in and click on the \button{Install Ubuntu} button. This will start the installation process.

If you have an Internet connection, the installer will ask you if you would like to ``Download updates while installing Ubuntu.'' We recommend you do so. The second option, ``Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, Flash, MP3, and other media'' includes the Fluendo \acronym{MP3} codec, and software required for some wireless hardware. If you are not connected to the Internet, the installer will help you set up a wireless connection.

This option will keep all of your documents, music, pictures, and other personal files. Installed software will be kept when possible (not all of your currently installed software may be supported on the new version). System-wide settings will be cleared.

Next, choose a password and enter it into both password fields. When both passwords match, a strength rating will appear to the right that will show you whether your password is ``short,'' ``weak,'' ``fair,'' or ``good.'' You will be able to continue the installation process regardless of your password strength, but for security reasons it is best to choose a strong one. This is best achieved by having a password that is at least nine characters long, with a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as numbers and symbols. Avoid words that can be found in a dictionary and obvious passwords such as your birth date, spouse's name, or the name of your pet.
