I want to configure telnet for my fresh Ubuntu VM.
Can you please provide the necessary steps?
I'm also looking for steps to configure ssh in a Ubuntu system and how it can be connected from a client using ssh.

If you're asking for the telnet client, it should be installed already. Try typing telnet in a terminal. If not, sudo apt install telnet will install it.
You do not want telnet server. There's zero reasons to use telnet in 2018. It's unsecure and offers no benefits.
To set up SSH, simply
sudo apt install openssh-server
sudo systemctl enable sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd
If you have firewall configured, you can allow ssh with sudo ufw allow ssh.
To configure key based login, this Q&A may help.
