How to flash it to a USB

You'll need a USB drive with at least 4GB of space. We recommend Balena Etcher which is free and works on Windows, Mac and Linux. Once flashed, boot from the USB (usually F12 or F2 at startup). The installer will launch automatically.

# Or flash from terminal on Linux/Mac:
sudo dd if=LukiLinux-1.0.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress && sync

Verify your download

Always worth checking the hash matches before flashing. Compare the SHA256 below with what you downloaded.

# Linux/Mac:
sha256sum LukiLinux-1.0.iso

# Windows PowerShell:
Get-FileHash LukiLinux-1.0.iso -Algorithm SHA256
