Downloading the eLxr Image

About This Task

For hardware and virtual machine manager installation, you will need the eLxr image file as described in this procedure.

eLxr provides images specific to most usecases, and even includes Edge and Cloud images for embedded devices and virtual machine use. For details on eLxr images and features, see Release Information.

Before You Begin

To download the images, you must have a computer with a Web browser or terminal, and Internet access. Additional requirements depend on the type of installation you want to perform. For details, see Quick Start Overview.

Procedure

  1. Download the eLxr image file of your choice at: https://elxr.org/downloads. Optionally, if you are working from a command terminal, you can use wget to download your image, for example:

    $ wget https://downloads.elxr.dev/<your_image_name>

    If you are performing a hardware installation, go to the next step. If you are performing a VMM installation, go to Installing eLxr with VirtualBox or Installing eLxr with Virtual Machine Manager to continue.

  2. Determine the device node that the bootable media is mounted to. In this procedure, /dev/sdb is used for example. Modify this to match the device node of the USB device on your host.

    Note

    Due to the specifics of partition formatting, the NVIDIA Jetson Orin image requires a SD card. It will not boot using USB media.

  3. Copy the image file to the bootable media.

    Linux:

    $ dd if=elxr-12.10.0.0-amd64-NETINST-1.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M

    Windows:

    Use a third-party tool such as Rufus to burn the file to your bootable media.

    Note

    If you are using a VMM, such as VirtualBox, to boot the image in Windows, you can skip this step and use the ISO files directly.

Results

Now that you have an eLxr 12 image file on bootable media, you need to install it. For details, see:
