Requirements

To-do

These instructions are valid for x86-64 computers that do ship with Linux or Windows

As of now, Phyllome OS only officially supports host computers with Intel CPUs and Intel internal graphics card (iGPU). Other editions will follow. {.is-warning}

Enable hardware-assisted virtualization

For Phyllome OS to work as intended, hardware-assisted virtualization needs to be enabled.

For Apple hardware, support for hardware-assisted virtualization seems to depend on you firmware version and your CPU model. Go directly to the Make sure that hardware-assisted virtualization is enabled section. {.is-info}

Access the firmware

During the boot process, you need to press a certain key to access the firmware configuration tool for your motherboard, also known as BIOS or UEFI.

The most common keystrokes are F2 or Del.

Hardware manufacturers could not agree on a common keystroke to access the firmware configuration tool, so please have a look at the documentation provided by your hardware manufacturer.

  • Windows-based computers

Modify the firmware configuration

Now that you are done, you can go to the next section to create an installation medium.
