Installing on Bare-Metal

Installation media

Download the Kairos ISO of your choice. See the Getting Started guide for more information.

When deploying on a bare metal server, directly flash the image into a USB stick. There are multiple ways to do this:

From the CLI

dd if=/path/to/iso of=/path/to/dev bs=4MB

From the GUI

For example using an application like balenaEtcher but can be any other application which allows you to write bootable USBs.

Warning

If you're booting in UEFI mode, make sure that your storage device where you're planning to install Kairos, is configured as ACHI and not RAID.
