Step-by-Step Guide: Installing Ubuntu 24.04 in EVE-NG

EVE-NG (Emulated Virtual Environment – Next Generation) is a popular network emulation platform that allows users to run multiple operating systems, network devices, and security appliances within a virtualized lab environment. To extend its usability, Ubuntu 24.04.3 (a recent LTS release) can be installed as a guest image inside EVE-NG, enabling testing of Linux-based tools, servers, or client nodes in network simulations.

Prerequisites

  • A running EVE-NG server (bare metal or virtualized, with sufficient resources).
  • Access to the EVE-NG CLI with administrative rights.
  • An Ubuntu 24.04 ISO (server or desktop edition, depending on use case).
  • Adequate disk space and memory allocated for Ubuntu VM instances.
