# Install Ubuntu Server
This guide assumes that the server is a plain-vanilla installation of Ubuntu Server. You can select the option to install OpenSSH Server during the installation wizard or follow the instructions below to install it post-installation. This guide assumes that you did not select any of the Featured Server Snaps during installation.
## Post Installation
Once installation is complete run update and upgrade to ensure that you have the latest version of the server installed along with all of its patches.
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
```
## Install OpenSSH Server
These days everything should be done over SSH. Install the server so that you can connect to it using this standard protocol rather than FTP or RDP.
```
sudo apt install -y openssh-server
```
## Install GIT
If you will be editing or developing anything in this server, install GIT. GIT is the source control tool of choice.
```
sudo apt install -y git
```
## Install the Lynx browser
Lynx is a command-line browser. This guide assumes that you are installing Ubuntu server without a GUI, therefore you will need lynx to browse the web or to browse sites on this server (e.g., localhost).
```
sudo apt install -y lynx
```
