- Check whether there is an existing operating system or systems. If there is, the user can choose to remove it or install Linux alongside it.
- Decide where the new Linux system is to be installed, for example which disk drive.
- Decide how to partition the disk drive to accommodate the operating system’s files.
- Decide which file system is to be used.
- Partition and format the disk drive.
- Install a boot loader, which is responsible for finding and loading the operating system from the disk drive.
- Install the Linux kernel.
- Install the appropriate device drivers for the hardware devices found.
- Install the user applications and system libraries (collections of shared software).
- Configure the installed system.
