+title: Installing Debian for Yunohost
+template: docs
+taxonomy:
+    category: docs
+routes:
+  default: '/installing_debian'
+---
+
+If you can't install Yunohost successfully, there's always the option to install Debian and then install Yunohost on top.
+
+## Which Debian version
+
+At the time of writing, only Debian 11 is supported by Yunohost. Don't use Debian 12.
+
+## Before you start
+
+The Debian installer isn't the easiest Linux installer, especially for beginners. It'll be easier to **format the hard drive** you plan to use for Debian+Yunohost **before you install Debian**, using your disk utility of choice.
+
+## Installing Debian
+
+### Booting the installer
+
+This guide won't go into details on how to boot the Debian installer. You can use Debian's own documentation for that. The short version is you'll need to flash a USB stick with the Debian 11 image, like you would flash the Yunohost image.
+
+### Installing
+
+In general, you can simply follow the instructions on screen and use the suggested defaults.
+
+Debian installer will ask for a **hostname** and a **domain name**. You can use “yunohost” and “yunohost.local”. It’s not really important since the Yunohost Installer will overwrite those anyway.
+
+Debian will ask for a **root password**. Make sure you pick a **really long and complex** one and save it to your password manager of choice (Bitwarden, Firefox, etc…) or write it somewhere safe. Remember that this is a server that  will be available on the internet, making it vulnerable to possible attacks so you should be extra safe here!
+
+The installer will also ask for a **user account** and another password. **Important:** name it something that won’t be used by your Yunohost server later. For example, you can name it `debian`. Be sure to also use a long complex password.
+
+When the install asks about where to install and how to **create disk partitions**, select the option to use the whole disk, unless you know what you're doing.
+
+- Don’t separate the /home, /var or /tmp partitions. Use the option to “keep all files in one partition”.
+- Don’t encrypt any partitions, [as recommended](https://yunohost.org/en/administer/install/hardware:regular#about-encryption))
+
+The installer will ask about **mirrors**. Select a country and server close to your location, or use the default options.
+
+The installer will ask about which **desktop environment** you want. You should not install a desktop environment on a server:
+
+- Unselect all desktop environment
+- Keep “standard system utilities” checked
+
+## After installing Debian
+
+1. Remove the installation media (unplug the USB stick) 
+2. Reboot
+3. Login as `root` with the long complex password you created earlier.
+4. Proceed to install Yunohost on Debian using these instructions: https://yunohost.org/en/install/hardware:vps_debian
