# Create a bootable USB flash drive
|
|
|
|
*In this section, you will learn how to create a bootable USB medium that will allow you to install Phyllome on your computer.*
|
|
|
|
> As it is not yet possible to install Phyllome OS from the live image., intent to install Phyllome OS permanently on your computer, you need to use a [Fedora Server ISO instead](https://getfedora.org/en/server/). The steps below are made to be generic, and should be valid regardless of the ISO you use
|
|
{.is-info}
|
|
|
|
## Load the ISO on a USB flash drive
|
|
|
|
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 of at least 10 GB
|
|
|
|
### Command-line instructions (Linux-only)
|
|
|
|
This method uses the `dd` command line tool.
|
|
|
|
The next command, which requires root privileges, assumes that the ISO file is available in the *Downloads* folder and that the target medium is called `sdz`. You can identify the correct target device using the `lsblk` command line tool. Modify the command according to your context.
|
|
|
|
> **Warning:** This command will **destroy** any data on the target device
|
|
{.is-danger}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dd bs=4MB if=~/Downloads/Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-38-1.6 of=/dev/sdz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Manual instructions (Cross-platform)
|
|
|
|
The instructions are designed with Etcher in mind. Other tools such as [Rufus](https://rufus.ie/en/), [Unetbootin](https://unetbootin.github.io/) or [Ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html) are likely to work too.
|
|
|
|
> Etcher is an open-source, cross platform tool for flashing images to a target medium. It is developed and made available by [balena](https://www.balena.io/).
