An ISO-9660 installation image that can be written to a USB stick or burnt
to a DVD can be downloaded from
‘https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-d108a7a.x86_64-linux.iso’,
where you can replace x86_64-linux with one of:
x86_64-linuxfor a GNU/Linux system on Intel/AMD-compatible 64-bit CPUs;
i686-linuxfor a 32-bit GNU/Linux system on Intel-compatible CPUs.
Make sure to download the associated .sig file and to verify the authenticity of the image against it, along these lines:
$ wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-d108a7a.系统.iso.sig $ gpg --verify guix-system-install-d108a7a.系统.iso.sig
如果那个命令因为缺少所需的公钥而失败了，那么用这个命令导入它：
$ wget https://sv.gnu.org/people/viewgpg.php?user_id=15145 \
-qO - | gpg --import -
再次运行gpg --verify命令。
Take note that a warning like “This key is not certified with a trusted signature!” is normal.
This image contains the tools necessary for an installation. It is meant to be copied as is to a large-enough USB stick or DVD.
Insert a USB stick of 1 GiB or more into your machine, and determine its device name. Assuming that the USB stick is known as /dev/sdX, copy the image with:
dd if=guix-system-install-d108a7a.x86_64-linux.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress sync
Access to /dev/sdX usually requires root privileges.
Insert a blank DVD into your machine, and determine its device name. Assuming that the DVD drive is known as /dev/srX, copy the image with:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/srX=guix-system-install-d108a7a.x86_64-linux.iso
Access to /dev/srX usually requires root privileges.
Once this is done, you should be able to reboot the system and boot from the
USB stick or DVD. The latter usually requires you to get in the BIOS or
UEFI boot menu, where you can choose to boot from the USB stick. In order
to boot from Libreboot, switch to the command mode by pressing the c
key and type search_grub usb.
Sadly, on some machines, the installation medium cannot be properly booted and you only see a black screen after booting even after you waited for ten minutes. This may indicate that your machine cannot run Guix System; perhaps you instead want to install Guix on a foreign distro (see 二进制文件安装). But don’t give up just yet; a possible workaround is pressing the e key in the GRUB boot menu and appending nomodeset to the Linux bootline. Sometimes the black screen issue can also be resolved by connecting a different display.
See Installing Guix in a Virtual Machine, if, instead, you would like to install Guix System in a virtual machine (VM).
