Now that your YunoHost install medium, you can start with the installation.

## 1. Plug the network cable

If you want the network configuration to be set up automatically, you have to plug your server with an **Ethernet** cable **right behind your main router**.
 
The wireless connections are not supported yet, and if you use intermediate routers, the network ports opening will not be automatic: Your server will not be accessible externally.

## 2. Boot on CD / USB stick

Boot up your server with the USB stick or a CD-ROM inserted, and select it as **bootable device** by pressing one of the following keys (hardware specific):    
```<ESC>```, ```<F9>```, ```<F10>```, ```<F11>```, ```<F12>``` or ```<DEL>```
