lxc launch

lxc launch ubuntu:18.04 c1
This client hasn't been configured to use a remote LXD server yet.
As your platform can't run native Linux instances, you must connect to a remote LXD server.

If you already added a remote server, make it the default with "lxc remote switch NAME".
To easily setup a local LXD server in a virtual machine, consider using: https://multipass.run
