My command looks like this $ sudo dd if=manjaro-architect-17.1.9-stable-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb status=”progress”
At the time of writing, I’m following along here, using the dd command to put bootable Manjaro Architect on a 16GB Sandisk Cruzer Glide 3.0 USB drive. Where “ name-of-iso.iso” is of course replaced by the actual name of your ISO file. Since, we’re already in the right directory, we can use: $ sudo dd if=name-of-iso.iso of=/dev/sdb status="progress" We can verify our current working directory with: $ pwd … pwd stands for Print Working Directory. $ cd ~/Downloads then you can ls (list / take a look at) your file with: $ ls *.iso Now we should see our ISO file, and we’re inside the same directory with it. For this example, let’s say you put the ISO in your user’s /home/Downloads directory. I’d recommend navigating to the directory where you downloaded the ISO. for example with: $ sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 Now we’re all ready to copy the ISO file to the usb drive using the dd command. If you’re fancy and want to use something besides ext4 format, you could use vfat or ntfs.
This assumes that your usb drive is /dev/sdb of course. ie /dev/sdx1 NOT /dev/sdx - if you have trouble with this, you might try gparted or somethingĭepending on your situation this may take a couple of minutes of waiting without visual feedback from the terminal. Let’s do this formatting with: $ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 - make sure you put the file system on the partition you created. We can have a look at the partitions and file systems on the system with this command: $ sudo fdisk -l # - "df -h" and "lsblk" is also usefulĪfter then confirming which is your target drive, and unmounting ( $ umount /dev/sdb*) it, we need to format the unmounted drive. If you have multiple hard drives already connected to your machine, the drive that you’d like to target might be something like /dev/sdc or /dev/sdd or /dev/sde… you get the picture.
This assumes that your USB drive is showing up as /dev/sdb. I’ll describe the process below and some of the thinking that might be attendant.įirst connect the USB drive and unmount it, assuming you know its designation (if not keep reading a couple more paragraphs before executing any commands), with something like the following: $ umount /dev/sdb* It’s actually less confusing of a process than you might think, and in my opinion, it’s just easier all around. There are still some graphic utilities you can use to create bootable USB drives with Linux on them, but why not learn the ins and outs of doing it from the terminal.
#Make bootable usb from iso ubuntu windows command prompt full#
But, let’s say you’ve graduated from Windows and now you’re a full blown Linux person.
