# Create a bootable USB flash drive
|
|
|
|
*In this section, you will learn how to create a bootable USB flash drive that will allow you to deploy Phyllome on a target computer.*
|
|
|
|
- Requirements
|
|
- A fast USB 3.0 flash drive of at least 10 GB
|
|
- A local copy of the [Fedora Everything](https://fedoraproject.org/everything/download/) ISO file
|
|
|
|
## Command-line instructions for Unix systems
|
|
|
|
- Plug the USB 3.0 flash drive in your computer.
|
|
|
|
- Then adapt that command, which assumes that the Fedora Everything ISO file is available in the current folder and that the target device is called `sdz`. Use `lsblk` to identify it.
|
|
|
|
> This command will **destroy** any data on the target device `sdz`
|
|

|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# dd bs=4MB if=./Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-41-1.4 of=/dev/sdz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Manual instructions (Cross-platform)
|
|
|
|
The instructions are designed with [Etcher](https://etcher.balena.io/) 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/)
