Install Sparrowling

These notes are starter guidance for early Sparrowling images. Replace placeholder commands as the installer, release process, and supported platforms become final.

Before you begin

• Back up any data on the target system.
• Confirm the machine is a supported 64-bit x86 system.
• Download the current Sparrowling image from the project site.
• Verify the image checksum before writing it to USB media.

Write the image

On an existing Linux system, identify the USB device carefully, then write the image.

lsblk
sudo dd if=sparrowling-base-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync

Warning: The dd command overwrites the target device. Replace /dev/sdX with the correct USB device, not a partition such as /dev/sdX1.
