I'd like to set up a Reddit clone website. I see this: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/wiki/reddit-install-script-for-Ubuntu
I'm not used to servers or anything. Is this line
We recommend using a dedicated environment (such as a VM) with at least 4GB of RAM
saying that you can use a virtualmachine (like on VirtualBox) as a server to install the reddit clone and permanently host the site via that virtualmachine? or how does this all work?
I have experience making websites in terms of jQuery, CSS, and HTML, but I don't know how to just set up sites in this regard.
