The Phyllome OS ISOs files are made available [on GitHub](https://github.com/PhyllomeOS/phyllomeos/releases).
As of now, only the Phyllome OS Desktop II edition is available as an ISO file. The `II edition` is tuned for Intel CPUs and Intel GPUs. It is also known as `ldhi`, for *live*, *desktop*, *hypervisor*, and *intel*.
* [**The direct link**](https://github.com/PhyllomeOS/phyllomeos/releases/download/v.0.2.0-alpha/phyllome-live_ldhi_v0.2.0-alpha_x86_64.iso) to download the ISO. It will take some time to load.
> As of now, there is no checksum available, and the release is not signed using GPG keys. Among other things, it means that there is no garanty about the authenticity of the file or its integrity, whatsoever. Alternatively, a safer is to deploy Phyllome OS [in a virtual machine](https://github.com/PhyllomeOS/phyllomeos#how-to-hack-phyllome-os) or to deploy it directly on a host using [this method](/deploy/live)

## How to put it on a USB Stick
The following instructions may have to be adapted depending on the operating system that you are currently using.
* *General requirements*
* A fast USB 3.0 flash drive
* 2 GB
### Command-line instructions: flash a USB disk using the `dd` command line tool on Linux

> This command will destroy any data on the target device
### Manual instructions: flash a USB disk using Etcher
The instructions are designed with Etcher in mind
