-Prepare Installation Media
---------------------------

-:pve-toplevel:
-endif::wiki[]
-
-Download the installer ISO image from: {website}en/downloads/proxmox-virtual-environment/iso
-
-The {pve} installation media is a hybrid ISO image. It works in two ways:
-
-* An ISO image file ready to burn to a CD or DVD.
-
-* A raw sector (IMG) image file ready to copy to a USB flash drive (USB stick).
-
-Using a USB flash drive to install {pve} is the recommended way because it is
-the faster option.
-
-Prepare a USB Flash Drive as Installation Medium
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The flash drive needs to have at least 1 GB of storage available.
-
-NOTE: Do not use UNetbootin. It does not work with the {pve} installation image.
-
-IMPORTANT: Make sure that the USB flash drive is not mounted and does not
-contain any important data.
-
-
-Instructions for GNU/Linux
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-On Unix-like operating system use the `dd` command to copy the ISO image to the
-USB flash drive. First find the correct device name of the USB flash drive (see
-below). Then run the `dd` command.
-
-----
-# dd bs=1M conv=fdatasync if=./proxmox-ve_*.iso of=/dev/XYZ
-----
-
-NOTE: Be sure to replace /dev/XYZ with the correct device name and adapt the
-input filename ('if') path.
-
-CAUTION: Be very careful, and do not overwrite the wrong disk!
-
-
-Find the Correct USB Device Name
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-There are two ways to find out the name of the USB flash drive. The first one is
-to compare the last lines of the `dmesg` command output before and after
-plugging in the flash drive. The second way is to compare the output of the
-`lsblk` command. Open a terminal and run:
-
-----
-# lsblk
-----
-
-Then plug in your USB flash drive and run the command again:
-
-----
-# lsblk
-----
-
-A new device will appear. This is the one you want to use. To be on the extra
-safe side check if the reported size matches your USB flash drive.
-
-
-Instructions for macOS
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Open the terminal (query Terminal in Spotlight).
-
-Convert the `.iso` file to `.dmg` format using the convert option of `hdiutil`,
-for example:
-
-----
-# hdiutil convert proxmox-ve_*.iso -format UDRW -o proxmox-ve_*.dmg
-----
-
-TIP: macOS tends to automatically add '.dmg' to the output file name.
-
-To get the current list of devices run the command:
-
-----
-# diskutil list
-----
-
-Now insert the USB flash drive and run this command again to determine which
-device node has been assigned to it. (e.g., /dev/diskX).
-
-----
-# diskutil list
-# diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX
-----
-
-NOTE: replace X with the disk number from the last command.
-
-----
-# sudo dd if=proxmox-ve_*.dmg bs=1M of=/dev/rdiskX
-----
-
-NOTE: 'rdiskX', instead of 'diskX', in the last command is intended. It will
-increase the write speed.
-
-Instructions for Windows
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Using Etcher
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Etcher works out of the box. Download Etcher from https://etcher.io. It will
-guide you through the process of selecting the ISO and your USB flash drive.
-
-Using Rufus
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Rufus is a more lightweight alternative, but you need to use the *DD mode* to
-make it work. Download Rufus from https://rufus.ie/. Either install it or use
-the portable version. Select the destination drive and the {pve} ISO file.
-
-IMPORTANT: Once you 'Start' you have to click 'No' on the dialog asking to
-download a different version of GRUB. In the next dialog select the 'DD' mode.
-
-ifdef::wiki[]
-Boot your Server from the USB Flash Drive
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Connect the USB flash drive to your server and make sure that booting from USB
-is enabled (check your servers firmware settings). Then follow the steps in the
-xref:chapter_installation[installation wizard].
