Install Ubuntu from USB Drive

Installation Guide

Ask for the USB Flash Drive with the Ubuntu 18.04 Intaller Image. Boot your laptop / computer into the USB Drive to start the installation.

A few helpful guides:

• Installation guide (linuxtechi)
• More on dual boot (itzgeek)
• Regarding boot options (phoenixnap).

caution

• Always try to boot using UEFI mode, instead of the legacy BIOS mode. This will make sure the Ubuntu uses its UEFI bootloader after installation. Make sure to disable legacy mode or secure boot, if your system has this option. Reference
• Remember to give sufficient swap space during installation's disk partitioning, to protect the OS from hanging when the physical memory running low. Reference
• Connect to a LAN Internet connection if possible, so update downloads could be much faster

Prepare the USB Flash Drive Yourself

We currently use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as the standard OS, and the download link is available here:

• choose ubuntu-18.04.x-desktop-amd64.iso
• Use any USB image flashing tool to do it, for example the universal usb installer on Windows, or the cross-platform Etcher.
