DietPi is a lightweight and optimized operating system that is designed to run on single-board computers, including the Raspberry Pi. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install DietPi on EndeavourOS.
Before proceeding with the installation, you should have:
To get started, head to the DietPi website and download the latest version of DietPi for your device. Make sure to choose the ARM architecture if you are installing it on a Raspberry Pi.
After downloading the DietPi image, you need to verify the SHA256 sum to ensure the integrity of the downloaded file. To do this, use the following command:
sha256sum dietpi.iso
Compare the output with the checksum provided on the DietPi website to confirm the integrity of the downloaded file.
Next, create a bootable USB drive with the DietPi image using the dd command.
sudo dd if=path/to/dietpi.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M status=progress
Note that /dev/sdx is the device name of your USB drive. Make sure to replace it with the correct device name. This command will erase all data on the specified USB drive, so make sure to backup any important files before proceeding.
Insert the USB drive into your device and boot it from the USB drive. First, power off your device, then turn it back on while pressing the appropriate key to enter the boot menu. Once you enter the boot menu, select the USB drive as the boot device.
After booting from the USB drive, you will be presented with the DietPi installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to install DietPi on your device.
That’s it! You have successfully installed DietPi on your EndeavourOS device. DietPi is a lightweight and optimized operating system that is designed to run on single-board computers, and it is a great option for those who want a lightweight and optimized operating system for their Raspberry Pi.
