To prepare for the the installation, we will need to download the following:

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) logo
Ubuntu Server installation documentation (official)

And

balenaEtcher download page (create bootable USB)
balenaEtcher download page (create bootable USB)

These resources help you prepare the installation media and verify the steps if something goes wrong.

Use the Ubuntu Server documentation to check installation steps, server setup options, and basic commands if you need a reliable reference while building your server (Canonical, n.d.).

Use the balenaEtcher page to download the tool for creating a bootable USB with the Ubuntu Server ISO (Balena, n.d.). Ubuntu documentation notes that you need an 8 GB USB stick or larger (Canonical, n.d.).
