Installation instructions
Select the appropriate Tag for your ARM device. When you find the desired image Tag, click on it.
Using Raspberry Pi 5 as an example, two files should be listed.
enosLinuxARM-rpi5-latest.img.xz
enosLinuxARM-rpi5-latest.img.xz.sha512sum
Click on each file to download the files.
In a terminal window, go to the directory where the 2 files were downloaded.
Verify the integrity of the downloaded files.
sha512sum -c enosLinuxARM-rpi5-latest.img.xz.sha512sum
This should come back with OK.
Use dd or your favourite flash burner app to install
enosLinuxARM-rpi5-latest.img.xz
to a storage device such as a micro SD, eMMC, or USB SSD device.
Connect the storage device to your ARM device and boot up.
The device will automatically log in and run a script that allows the entry of your details. Simply answer the questions.
After the script is finished, the device will reboot with a functional Desktop or Windows manager.
Headless server installation
Follow the instructions above to install the server image except install it to a micro SD card only.
Connect the micro SD to an RPi 4b / 5b with a Monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Connect a USB 3 SSD to a USB 3 port on the RPi if you want the script to
partition and format the DATA SSD. It will then create mount points and
modify the /etc/fstab file to mount the DATA SSD on every bootup.
Boot up the RPi and you will be prompted for information to configure the server
Upon the second boot, you can remove the monitor, keyboard, and mouse and run
the server headless.
Go to our Discovery ARM articles page and use the following How-to’s to set up a Linux LAN file server:
Homeserver 1, Homeserver 2, Homeserver 3, and Homeserver 7
There are additional how-to’s for SAMBA and miniDLNA.
We are following the upcoming support for the Snapdragon X Elite for Linux and when it is there, our goal is to add it to our supported hardware. Also, we are still looking for Mac M1, M2, M3 and ThinkPad or other major brand owners with ARM architecture who want to collaborate with us to create install images for those. You can contact us through our socials, forum or email.
