Creating Installation Media

Ventoy

You should use Ventoy which is quite simple compared to other options.

Create the drive and copy the archriot_2025.iso to the Ventoy drive.

Boot the drive (may require bios settings to set the USB drive as the first boot drive)

USB Drive

sudo dd if=out/archriot-*.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync

Replace /dev/sdX with your USB device (use lsblk to find it).

Installation Process

   • WiFi setup (if required)
   • Timezone selection
   • Keyboard layout
   • Disk selection (⚠️ WARNING: Selected disk will be wiped)
   • User account creation
   • Encryption password setup

3. Installation takes around 10 minutes depending on internet speed
