Creating a bootable USB to install the OS
|
||||
##########################################
|
||||
|
||||
Here's how to create a USB drive that initiates the process for
|
||||
:ref:`clear-host`. Alternatively, you can test the
|
||||
OS by :ref:`kvm`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What you need
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
* A USB stick, formatted as ``ext4``. Remember that the process of
|
||||
flashing data to a USB completely deletes the contents of the
|
||||
drive; as always, run ``dd`` with caution.
|
||||
* A Clear Linux* OS for Intel® Architecture image; the most current
|
||||
release versions can be found at the following link:
|
||||
`https://download.clearlinux.org/image <https://download.clearlinux.org/image>`_
|
||||
* Older versions can be found on our `downloads page`_.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Download and checksum
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ wget https://download.clearlinux.org/image/clear-[release_number]-installer.img.xz
|
||||
$ sha512sum clear-[release_number]-installer.img.xz
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Confirm the mount point on the USB drive
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
Using ``$ lsblk`` is helpful to show the block-level devices;
|
||||
a USB drive usually shows up under ``/sdb`` or ``/sdc`` (almost never
|
||||
under ``/sda``), and should indicate disk space approximately the
|
||||
size of the USB drive::
|
||||
|
||||
$ lsblk /dev/sdb
|
||||
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
|
||||
?? sdb 8:16 1 14.9G 0
|
||||
?? sdb1 8:17 1 14.9G 0 part
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure the drive isn't already mounted. The easiest way is with
|
||||
``umount`` or
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
# df
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Flash the image to the USB
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
Flash the image with the following command. This may need to be done as root or with sudo::
|
||||
|
||||
# xzcat clear-[release_number]-installer.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Wait for the final confirmation
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
This example shows ``clear-9130-installer.img.xz`` flashed to a 16GB
|
||||
USB drive mounted on ``/sdb``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: ./figures/confirmation-screen.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: confirmation
|
||||
|
||||
Success! Your USB stick is now ready to boot and initiate the process for
|
||||
:ref:`clear-host`.

Installing the OS as host
|
||||
#########################
|
||||
|
||||
Running Clear Linux\* OS for Intel® Architecture natively on a system is
|
||||
easy with the installer image. To get started you'll need the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* A USB stick flashed with the `installer image`_. For instructions on how
|
||||
to do this, see :ref:`bootable-usb`.
|
||||
* A host machine running :ref:`supported-hardware`.
|
||||
* Network access via DHCP.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture to a target system
|
||||
===================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
#. Configure the BIOS; this may involve changing the priority of the boot
|
||||
device to boot from USB port first.
|
||||
#. Insert the USB device that is flashed with the
|
||||
`installer image`_ into the target system, then reboot.
|
||||
#. The installer user interface will appear. Once all appropriate
|
||||
configuration options have been chosen, the installer will install the OS.
|
||||
|
||||
The entire installation should take no more than a few minutes.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
our `mailing list`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: You can also try :ref:`kvm`.
