I am downloading ubuntu for the first time. I am planning on installing it on a virtual machine. Will I need to install it from a dvd copy, or will I be able to install it from my hard drive?

You can either install from DVD, USB, or use the ISO directly from the hard drive. – Mitch Dec 29 '13 at 21:03

What virtualization software are you planning to use? I run Oracle VirtualBox, and it has a setting in the "Storage" segment of the settings screen that will allow you to select the .iso image as an actual CD-ROM.
In the same area, set your drive boot sequence to boot from the cd device, and start up the virtual machine.
