Flashing the YunoHost ISO

Now that you downloaded the ISO image of YunoHost, you should flash/burn it on a physical medium. Typically, this is done on a USB stick or an SD card.

Download Etcher for your operating system and install it.

Plug your USB stick, select your YunoHost ISO and click "Flash"

With UNetbootin

Download UNetbootin for your operating system and install it.

Put your USB stick on, select your YunoHost ISO and click "OK"

With dd

If you are on GNU/Linux / macOS and know your way around command line, you may also flash your USB stick or SD card with dd. You can identify which device corresponds to your USB stick or SD card with fdisk -l or lsblk. A typical SD card name is something like /dev/mmcblk0. BE CAREFUL and make sure you got the right name.

Then run :

# Replace /dev/mmcblk0 if the name of your device is different...
dd if=/path/to/yunohost.img of=/dev/mmcblk0

Burning a CD/DVD

For older devices, you might want to burn a CD/DVD. The software to use depends on your operating system.

  • On Windows, use ImgBurn to write the image file on the disc

  • On macOS, use Disk Utility

  • On GNU/Linux, you have plenty of choices, like Brasero or K3b
