    #_Part 3: Learning Locker_

    There is a detailed guide to installing learning locker [here](http://docs.learninglocker.net/installation/) and also a step-by-step guide for installing in Ubuntu [here](http://www.jpablo128.com/how-to-install-learning-locker/). However, both of them are a bit dated and give a fair bit of errors on newer Ubuntu distributions. You can refer them for the documentation as to what we are doing. Brief steps are listed below.

    Before we get our hands dirty with the entire setup, it is necessary to ensure we do not mess with the existing installation. Setting up and configuring a local server is tricky and may sometimes break your existing configuration rendering other programs which rely on it useless. So we will use LXC to create a virtual container, where we will do all good stuff. You can read the official LXC documentation [here](https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxc.html) or a brief introduction about LXC [here](http://blog.scottlowe.org/2013/11/25/a-brief-introduction-to-linux-containers-with-lxc/) or get started right away with the commands below.
