Install Dantro Linux

Download the Dantro Linux ISO, write it to a USB drive, boot the computer from USB, and follow the desktop installer.

What You Need

A 64-bit computer that can boot from USB.
A USB drive with at least 4 GB capacity.
The latest Dantro Linux Desktop ISO.
A backup of any important files on the computer before installing.

Download

Download the latest ISO from the Dantro homepage or from `https://update.dantro.com/releases/desktop/stable/latest/dantro-linux-desktop-amd64-fixed.iso`.
The release metadata is available at `https://update.dantro.com/releases/desktop/stable/latest.json`.
If a browser warns about a large file, allow the download to finish before writing the USB drive.

Create USB Installer

On Windows, use Rufus or balenaEtcher and select the Dantro ISO file.
On macOS, use balenaEtcher and select the Dantro ISO file.
On Linux, use GNOME Disks, KDE ISO Image Writer, balenaEtcher, or another ISO writer.
Writing the ISO erases the USB drive.

Boot From USB

Insert the USB drive into the computer.
Restart the computer and open the boot menu. Common keys are F12, F11, F10, Esc, or Del.
Select the USB drive from the boot menu.
If the USB drive does not appear, try another USB port or recreate the USB using a different writer.

Install

Start Dantro Linux from the USB drive.
Open the desktop installer.
Choose language, keyboard, disk, user account, and timezone.
Confirm the disk selection carefully before continuing.
Restart when installation finishes and remove the USB drive.

After Installation

Connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Open Dantro App Center to install apps such as CCTV, Media Vault, Display, Finance, Office Add-ins, or Procurement.
Open Dantro Update Center to check the installed release and available update metadata.
Use Control Center for local system settings and Dantro services.
