LINUX INSTALLATION

INDURACTION

Linex is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that helps you


streamline and simplify the execution of a set of shell scripts by
organizing them under a single command.
How to download and install Linux

1.Step 1 - Choose a method to install Linux

2.Step 2 - Choose a Linux distribution

3.Step 3 - Follow install method instructions

4.Step 4 - After installing Linux


1. Choose a Linux Distribution:

Select a distribution like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or


Fedora, which are popular choices for beginners.

2. Download the ISO File:

Download the image file (ISO) for your chosen


distribution from the official website.

3. Create a Bootable USB Drive:


Use a tool like Rufus or Ventoy to create a bootable USB drive
from the downloaded ISO.
4. Boot from USB:

Insert the bootable USB drive into your computer and start or restart your computer.
Enter the boot menu (usually by pressing F12, Esc, or another key) and select the USB drive as
the boot device.

5. Install Linux:

Follow the on-screen instructions to start the installation. You'll be prompted to select your
language, keyboard layout, connect to the internet (if needed), and choose an installation type
(e.g., erase disk, install alongside another OS).

6. Post-Installation Setup:

Once the installation is complete, remove the USB drive and


restart your computer. You'll be presented with a desktop
environment and can start customizing your system.
7. Update Your System:
Update your system to the latest version by using your
distribution's package manager (e.g., apt for Ubuntu).

8. Install Additional Software:


Install any additional software you need through your
distribution's package manager or by downloading from the
internet
Step 1: Choose Your Linux
Distribution
Before diving into the process of installation, you
need to choose a Linux distribution that suits your
needs. As mentioned in Part 1, popular choices
include Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian. Visit the
official website of your chosen distribution and
download the latest ISO image before moving to
the next step. If you’re just starting, I recommend
Ubuntu for its user-friendliness. You can download
it here.
1. Insert a blank DVD into your computer’s DVD
drive.
2. Use a disc-burning software like Brasero (Linux),
ImgBurn (Windows), or Burn (macOS) to burn the
downloaded ISO image to the DVD.
Step 3: Boot from the USB/DVD

1. Restart your computer

and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by


pressing F2, F12, or Del during startup). It’s
different with every machine out there, see more
methods here

2. Change the boot order

to prioritize the USB drive or DVD drive. You need


to make sure you’re not having any other USBs or
DVDs mounted.

3. Save the changes

and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings.


Step 4: Installing Linux (Ubuntu)

1.Boot from the USB/DVD you created. You’ll see the Linux
distribution’s installer.
2.When you boot into Linux for the first time, you’ll typically be
greeted with an initial setup wizard. This wizard will guide you
through various configuration options, including:

•Language and Region:

• Select your preferred language and region settings.

•Keyboard Layout:

•Configure your keyboard layout to match your physical keyboard.

•Wi-Fi Settings (if applicable):

•If you’re using a wireless connection, you’ll need to set up your Wi-
Fi network at this stage.

•User Account:

• Create or sign in with a user account. It’s generally recommended


to use a non-root user for day-to-day tasks, as this enhances
3. Choose “Install Ubuntu” from the boot menu.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure


your keyboard layout, Wi-Fi settings (if applicable),
and user account.

5. Partitioning:

Now, you’ll be asked how you want to install


Linux. For beginners, I recommend installing Linux
alongside Windows if you have Windows installed.
This creates a dual-boot setup, allowing you to
choose between Linux and Windows during
startup.
If you want to replace your current OS with Linux,
choose ‘Erase disk and install Ubuntu,’ but be
cautious as this will delete all existing data.

8. Wait for the installation process to complete.
