Installation

Prebuilt images for generic x86_64 devices can be found on our downloads page, alternatively you can follow the Installation Guide to build an image from scratch. The process is usually fairly straight forward, select generic as the manufacturer when prompted.

When instructed to run pmbootstrap install, insert your target medium (sdcard, USB thumbdrive, etc) and specify --sdcard /dev/sdX where /dev/sdX is the target device.

The on-device installer is not currently supported. You will need to install directly to your target storage device. The simplest is to flash an image to a flash drive or SD card, and use pmbootstrap from there to access it. Alternatively, you can remount the rootfs as readonly after first boot and use a tool like dd to copy the disk image over to the internal storage device.
