# Install Phyllome OS
|
|
|
|
> Phyllome[^1] OS is an operating system that makes it easier to run [various operating systems](#go-further) locally using [off-the-shelf hardware](/deploy/prepare) and [virtualization](/virt/lexicon#virtualization) software.
|
|
{.is-info}
|
|
|
|
[^1]: According to [the Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/phyllome), Phyllome refers to the "foliar part of a plant; any organ homologous with a leaf, or [any organ] produced by metamorphosis of a leaf"
|
|
|
|
*This page is intended for users that would like to install Phyllome OS permanently on a computer. Make sure you understand what [Phyllome OS](/phyllomeos/purpose.md) is about before installing it*
|
|
|
|
Installing Phyllome OS involves booting from a [bootable USB flash drive](/deploy/medium) and fetching an online kickstart file, which contains instructions to automatically deploy Phyllome OS.
|
|
|
|
* General requirements:
|
|
* **A bootable USB flash drive**
|
|
* *If you don't have a USB flash drive ready to use, please go back to [the last section](/deploy/medium)*
|
|
* **A wired Internet connection**
|
|
* *Many files will be fetched online during the installation process*
|
|
* *Wireless connections are not supported*
|
|
* **A storage device**
|
|
* *The kickstart file will look for a storage device and install Phyllome OS on it. If there is no disk available, the installation will fail*
|
|
|
|

## Boot from the USB flash drive
|
|
|
|
The following section illustrates how to change the boot order *temporarily*. The process to change the boot order depends on your current computer platform. Please follow the instruction that match your platform.
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
* Make sure that your computer is turned-off.
|
|
* Plug the USB flash drive loaded with the official Fedora ISO.
|
|
* Locate the <kbd>Alt</kbd> / <kbd>Option</kbd> key on your keyboard.
|
|
* Turn your computer on and immediately hold down the <kbd>Alt</kbd> / <kbd>Option</kbd> key.
|
|
* The startup manager should appear after a few seconds.
|
|
* Click on the option called *EFI* and the GRUB splash screen will appear. Go to the section below to learn what to do next.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Boot into the automated installation process
|
|
|
|
One needs to alter the GRUB instructions in order to trigger the automated installation.
|
|
|
|
> GRUB is universal bootloader that ship with many Linux distributions
|
|
{.is-info}
|
|
|
|
### EFI-based firmware
|
|
|
|
* On the GRUB splash screen, navigate to the first entry using your keyboard arrow key and press <kbd>e</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On the new screen, use the arrow keys to place your cursor just after the word `quiet`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> GRUB defaults to the US keyboard layout. Have a look at [this online resource](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY#/media/File:KB_United_States.svg) to find the corresponding keys if you are not using a US keyboard layout
|
|
{.is-info}
|
|
|
|
> **Danger Zone**: the following instruction will trigger a process that will automatically **destroy** any data located on the internal disk present in your computer *without* asking for a confirmation*
|
|
{.is-danger}
|
|
|
|
* Leave a blank space after the word `quiet` and write exactly the following `inst.ks=https://ks.phyllo.me/dii`, then press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>x</kbd> simultaneously or <kbd>F10</kbd>. This command will trigger the automated installation of Phyllome OS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* During the installation process, you can use <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Tab</kbd> to cycle through tabs, and look at the logs in real-time
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* After a few minutes, the computer will power off
|
|
|
|
> Don't forget to remove the USB flash drive from your computer, so that next time your computer will boot, it will use the internal disk where Phyllome OS has been deployed
