# Install Phyllome OS
|
|
|
|
*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 is 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*
|
|
|
|
> The process to install Phyllome OS is destructive. Only follow the following instructions on a computer whose data has been backed-up and which has only one storage device attached to it.

## Choose your edition
|
|
|
|
| | GPU-agnostic | Intel GPUs (5th to 9th gen)[^2] |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| *Intel CPU* | **Phyllome OS Desktop I** | **Phyllome OS Desktop II** |
|
|
| *AMD CPU* | **Phyllome OS Desktop A** | N/A |
|
|
| CPU-agnostic | **Phyllome OS Desktop** | N/A |
|
|
|
|
[^2]: Only [Broadwell-based SoC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadwell_(microarchitecture)) (5th generation) to [Cascade Lake-based SoC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_Lake_(microarchitecture)) (9th generation) are supported. If you possess a more recent SoC from Intel, for instance one based on the Tiger Lake SoC, please pick Phyllome OS Desktop I or Phyllome OS Desktop A instead.
|
|
|
|
## 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 install 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

|
|
|
|
|
|
