Installing SMB

We will be installing Samba, a protocol that allows us to share your files over the local network.  This is open-source implementation of Microsoft's SMB protocol.

We can install it by entering the following command: 

sudo apt-get install -y samba

Now that Samba is installed, we can ensure it's running by using the following command:

sudo systemctl status xrdp

Now that we know it's installed and running, we can set up our storage drives for sharing.
