[[!meta title="PC Installation"]]
[[←_Back_to_Installing_ProteanOS|doc/install]]
**NOTE:** These instructions use a feature in an unreleased version of the
ProteanOS Development Kit. You'll need to have built prokit from its Git
repository to use the PC installer.
This guide explains how to use the interactive installer program distributed
with prokit, the ProteanOS Development Kit, to install ProteanOS on a PC
platform.
It is assumed that you have already
[[built_and_optionally_installed_prokit|doc/install/prokit]].
Preparation
===========
Make sure you have a computer supported by ProteanOS. If your computer is not
supported, you can [[port_ProteanOS_to_run_on_it|doc/plat/porting]]. Currently
supported are:
* Acer Aspire One AO751h (architecture `i686-linux-glibc`, platform `ao751h`)
* Dell Dimension 2400 (architecture `i686-linux-glibc`, platform
`dimension2400`)
* Lenovo ThinkPad X60, X60s, X60t, T60 (architecture `i686-linux-glibc`,
platform `x60`)
* Lenovo ThinkPad X200, X200s, X200 Tablet, R400, T400, R500, T500, etc.
(architecture `i686-linux-glibc`, platform `x60`)
* Libiquity Taurinus X200 and Gluglug Libreboot X200 (architecture
`i686-linux-glibc`, platform `x60`)
Determine the devices from which your computer can boot. For example, the Acer
Aspire One AO751h can boot from an internal 2.5" SATA drive or from a storage
device connected over USB (e.g. a flash drive), while the Dell Dimension 2400
can only boot from an internal PATA drive.
Pick a storage device on which you want to install ProteanOS and connect it to
the computer on which you plan to run the installer. You can either connect the
device to a different computer (easiest in the case of a USB flash drive, while
an HDD or SSD would require a SATA/PATA-to-USB adapter) or run a live GNU/Linux
system on the computer on which you plan to install ProteanOS.
Installation
============
If you installed prokit to your system, run:
$ sudo prokit installer-pc -a $arch -p $plat dev/trunk $device
Otherwise, from your prokit build directory, run:
$ sudo src/prokit installer-pc -a $arch -p $plat dev/trunk $device
Replace `$arch` with the architecture (e.g. `i686-linux-glibc`), `$plat` with
the platform (e.g. `x60`), and `$device` with the device file name (e.g.
`/dev/sdb`). Make sure you've selected the right device; prokit will erase the
partition table and write a new file system on the device you specify!
