alpha: "Furtka is **alpha software**: things change and some will break. Install it on a computer whose disk you don't need, and keep a backup of anything important."

need_label: "What you need"
needs:
  - "A **64-bit PC** (x86-64) — an old laptop or desktop is fine. Both UEFI and older BIOS computers work."
  - "A disk of **at least 16 GB** for Furtka. **It will be erased completely.**"
  - "A **USB stick** with at least 2 GB (also erased)."
  - "A **network cable** with internet access — the installer downloads packages, and Wi-Fi isn't set up automatically."
  - "A **second device with a browser** (phone or laptop) on the same network."
steps_label: "How to install"
steps:
  - title: "Write the ISO to a USB stick"
    body: |
      Use [balenaEtcher](https://etcher.balena.io/) (Windows, macOS, Linux) or [Rufus](https://rufus.ie/) on Windows — if Rufus asks, pick **DD image mode**. On Linux you can also use `dd` (replace `/dev/sdX` with your stick — double-check it):

      ```
      sudo dd if={iso} of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync
      ```
  - title: "Start the computer from the stick"
    body: "Plug in the stick and the network cable, switch the computer on and press the one-time boot menu key (often <kbd>F11</kbd>, <kbd>F12</kbd> or <kbd>Esc</kbd> — it flashes briefly on screen). Pick the USB stick. If the computer refuses to start from it, switch off **Secure Boot** in the firmware settings."
  - title: "Open the installer from another device"
    body: "After a short while the screen shows an address — usually **http://proksi.local:5000**, plus the IP address as a fallback. Open it in a browser on your phone or laptop."
  - title: "Click through the wizard"
    body: "Three pages: a name for your server with your username and password, the disk to install on, and a last check. Then the installer downloads and sets everything up."
  - title: "Pull the stick, restart, done"
    body: "When the wizard says so, remove the USB stick and restart. Your server comes up at **http://&lt;name&gt;.local** — for example http://furtka.local."
