Pre-installation

Note: Metis Linux installation images do not support Secure Boot. You will need to disable Secure Boot to boot the installation medium.

Download Metis Linux from our Download Page.

Flash the Metis OS image in a usb stick. Plug it in your machine and live boot from the USB stick.

Preparation For Installation

Verify the boot mode

To verify the boot mode uefi or legacy, list the efivars directory:

# ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

If the command shows the directory without error, then the system is booted in UEFI mode. If the directory does not exist, the system may be booted in BIOS (or CSM) mode. If the system did not boot in the mode you desired, refer to your motherboard’s manual.

Note1: You must create a boot partition of at least 300 MBs (512 MBs recommended) for grub installation during the installation process.

Note2: Legacy installation only supports limited filesystem types like ext4, xfs. It doesnot support btrfs file system.

Connect to the internet

To set up a network connection in the live environment, go through the following steps:

# ip link

For wireless and WWAN, make sure the card is not blocked with rfkill.

Connect to the network:
- Ethernet—plug in the cable.
- You can either use nmcli or nmtui to connect to the wifi networks.
The connection may be verified with ping:

# ping -c 3 metislinux.org

Installation Process Using metis-sideload

Execute the command metis-sideload and follow the instructions:

# metis-sideload

A detailed installation guide and video tutorial will be available soon.

Login after successful installation
