AmayaOS LiveUSB
This guide helps you to burn AmayaOS on a Flash drive, such as a USB or SD-CARD in just a few minutes.
Get AmayaOS
First of all we have to get a copy of the AmayaOS Image. We can download one of the precompiled images or compile the AmayaOS source code ourselves (for advanced users only).
Dependencies
To burn the ISO Image on a USB (or whatever flash drive we're using) we just need the standard tool of UNIX(TM) "dd" (duplicate disk). This should been included by default in all GNU with Linux distributions, BSD based-OS (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, ...) and in Haiku. Even if the Operating System you are using is not on this list it is very probable that it has the tool installed yet. Else, you have to install it yourself.
Burning the Image
To burn the image you have to execute dd as the following way. "amayaos-usb.iso" should be the path to the AmayaOS ISO file and "/dev/sdX" the path to the device in which you are burning AmayaOS. (The "/dev/sdX" path can be different if you are not using a GNU/Linux distribution)
user@domain$ dd if=amayaos-usb.iso of=/dev/sdX
*Note: In GNU/Linux distributions you might have to execute this command as an administrator (root)
It will take just a few seconds to be finished. Then, just restart your computer and be sure that USB-drive is allowed by your BIOS configuration to boot.
