## Prerequisites
- **A USB flash drive**
- *Instructions available in [the next section](/deploy/medium)*
- **A wired Internet connection**
- *Files will be fetched online during the installation process*
- *Wireless connections are not supported*
- **A computer with a storage device**, see requirements below
- **A kickstart description of a Phyllome OS installation**, available as an Internet-accessible file
- Phyllome OS is automatically deployed based on a kickstart file
> [The kickstart installation method](https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#chapter-1-introduction) provides a way to configure and automate the installation of most [RPM-based distributions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:RPM-based_Linux_distributions), including [the official Fedora distributions](https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts) as well as Fedora Remixes like Phyllome OS

## Enabling hardware-assisted virtualization
Hardware-assisted virtualization is rarely turned on by default, even on computers that support it: this section explains how to enable it.
> Failing to enable hardware-assisted virtualization will make running virtual machines extremly **slow**, if possible at all. If it cannot be enabled, you would be better off picking a Linux distribution which doesn't require it, such as [Debian](https://www.debian.org/distrib/) or [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/)
