Install GNOS

Get started with GNOS

Requirements

• Modern Intel processor, AES-NI recommended for  Full Disk Encryption
• 8GB memory for  GNOS GUI, more recommended
• 20GB HDD space, SSD recommended for  ZFS root filesystem
• Internet connection

Install instructions

Interactive setup

• Download Ubuntu 16.04.4 image here

Note If you don’t plan on installing boot-partition-less ZFS root filesystem, any supported Ubuntu LTS version is fine. Otherwise you MUST use 16.04.4 because later versions ship a ZFS version that is not adapted to grub-compatible pool creation.

• Create install media, help here
• Boot and choose Try Ubuntu
• Configure keyboard layout & timezone
• Configure network access (if not detected)
• Partition your disks with Gparted, read  Partitioning guide
• Open a terminal and run:

  wget get.gnos.in/installer && sudo bash installer MenuInstall
  

• Follow instructions (text UI), read  Installer guide
