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. |
The file is served from our Forgejo server (forgejo.sourcegate.online). |
What you need |
| 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. |

How to install |

| Write the ISO to a USB stick |
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
```

| Start the computer from the stick |
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. |

| Open the installer from another device |
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. |

| Click through the wizard |
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. |

| Pull the stick, restart, done |
When the wizard says so, remove the USB stick and restart. Your server comes up at **http://<name>.local** — for example http://furtka.local. |
