## Foxbuntu Installation Guide
|
|
### Requirements for installing Foxbuntu
|
|
To install Foxbuntu, you'll need the following:
|
|
1. microSD card. You can select one from [supported hardware](supported_hardware.md), but any card over 8gb and supporting UHS-I *should* work.
|
|
2. microSD card reader for your PC.
|
|
3. USB OTG adapter (USB-C to USB-A).
|
|
4. USB flash drive.
|
|
5. A Femtofox.
|
|
|
|
### Installation instructions
|
|
1. Download the latest stable [Foxbuntu release](https://github.com/noon92/femtofox/releases). At the bottom of the release, click the <u>.7z</u> file to download.
|
|
2. Flash the image your MicroSD card using [Balena Etcher](https://etcher.balena.io/) or your favorite flashing program. You will likely get a warning that the image appears to be invalid or has no partition table. This is normal.
|
|
3. Insert the microSD card into the Luckfox Pico Mini. The microSD slot is on the back of the board.
|
|
4. Following the instructions on the [USB Configuration Tool](usb_config.md) page, prepare your USB flash drive with your desired settings.
|
|
5. Using a USB OTG adapter, plug the USB flash drive into the *data* USB port.
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> Optional: attach a USB to serial adapter to the Femtofox via the TX2 and RX2 pins for debug console. Remember to bridge the grounds!
|
|
> Optional: plug an RJ45 cable in to the ethernet port, if you have one installed.
|
|
7. Connect the Femtofox to power, either via the *power* USB-C port (on the same side as the ethernet port) or via the 3.3v or the 5v JST power plugs.
|
|
8. The Femtofox will perform its first boot. This can take up to 5 minutes (subsequent boots ~40 seconds). When boot is complete, the USR LED will blink 5 times, 1/2 a second each. At this point, Meshtastic should be running and if you plug in a wifi adapter it should work.
|
|
9. To connect to your Femtofox via SSH, open [PuTTY](https://www.putty.org/) or your favorite SSH client and connect to your Femtofox via `femtofox.local` or its IP (check your router).
