This step requires a host PC running Linux.

  • Download the required disk image file

  • Connect a USB thumb drive to your pc

  • Run command: 
    lsblk

  • Identify your drive (usually /dev/sdX, X can be different for each system) 

    • NOTE: SATA HDDs & SSDs also identify as sdX so be careful not to corrupt your data.

  • Unmount your drive from the system if mounted using umount

  • Run command:
    sudo dd if=${path/to/image/file} of=/dev/sdX bs=1M status=progress; sync

  • Wait until dd finishes and you get a prompt again, safely eject the USB drive.
