UBOS is a Linux distribution that provides an application-centric approach to system administration. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of UBOS on EndeavourOS Latest using the command line.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
To download the UBOS image, head over to the UBOS website and select the "Download" option. From there, choose the "x86_64" architecture and download the latest stable release of UBOS.
After downloading the UBOS image, you need to create a bootable USB drive to install UBOS on your system. To create a bootable drive, insert your USB drive and use the following command to identify its device name:
lsblk
For the purpose of this tutorial, we assume that your USB drive is /dev/sdb.
Next, if you have not done so already, download the Etcher software from the balenaEtcher website. Etcher is a free and open-source tool that allows you to write images to USB drives and SD cards.
Once installed, open Etcher, and select the UBOS image you downloaded in Step 1.
Select the target drive, /dev/sdb in this case, and click the "Flash" button. Wait for the process to complete.
After creating the bootable USB drive, insert it into your computer, and boot from it. This process may vary depending on your computer's manufacturer. Generally, you'll need to enter the BIOS or UEFI settings and set the USB drive as the primary boot device.
Once you've booted from the USB drive, you'll see the UBOS installer welcome screen. From here, you can choose to either install UBOS or run it in Live mode.
To begin the installation process of UBOS, select the "Install UBOS" option on the installer welcome screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the system's time zone, keyboard layout, and disk partitioning.
During the installation process, you'll also be prompted to create a user account and set a root password.
Once the installation is complete, restart your computer, remove the USB drive, and boot into your newly installed UBOS system.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install UBOS on EndeavourOS Latest using a bootable USB drive. While the installation process may seem daunting for first-time users, following the steps outlined above will get you up and running in no time.
