Download the most recent 64-bit Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop image from https://releases.ubuntu.com/noble/ and install on your local machine or in a VM.

You may use any hostname, username, and password. If you wish to replicate the default configuration in the BitCurator documentation, when prompted use `BitCurator` for the Full Name, `bcadmin` for the username, and `bcadmin` for the password. This is not recommended for production environments.
You may use any hostname, username, and password. If you wish to replicate the default configuration in the BitCurator documentation, when prompted use `BitCurator` for the Full Name and `bcadmin` for the username.
