-==== Install Unifi on Ubuntu ====
+==== Install Unifi controller on Ubuntu ====
+These instructions were validated for unifi controller v5.7.23 being installed on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
+  * Start with clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 on Oracle VirtualBox v5.2.12.
+  * Install java 8 using [[https://websiteforstudents.com/how-to-install-oracle-java-jdk8-on-ubuntu-16-04-17-10-18-04-desktops/|websiteforstudents.com]] or [[https://tecadmin.net/install-oracle-java-8-ubuntu-via-ppa/|tecadmin.net]].
+  * If desired, install the [[https://firewalld.org/|firewall GUI administration tool]] from Software Center (apt install gnome-software)
+  * Review the [[https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/218506997-UniFi-Ports-Used|Unifi ports to open]]
+    * As of 14 July 2018, add TCP ports 8080, 8443 and UDP 3478 to public/permanent
+    * Note: Enabling Cloud Access and accessing the controller via [[https://unifi.ubnt.com]] instead does not require opening 8443, and is safer since no direct Internet access is permitted to your controller's management.
+<code>
+$ sudo -s
+$ cd /root
+$ mkdir downloads

+Download the latest controller software from [[https://www.ubnt.com/download/unifi/]].  It will be named something like "unifi_sysvinit_all.deb".
