Alpine newbies install
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
**Alpine Linux can be installed via many ways**, the most common ones
|
||||
are listed here, for more information see last section of this document.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Computer device** like PC, laptop, or Raspberry, are forms or a
|
||||
name for machines that uses the software named "Operating System"
|
||||
like Alpine Linux, the target of a "install process" to property put
|
||||
the Alpine system.
|
||||
- **Image file** means it is a type of file that is downloaded and
|
||||
*burned to a CD/DVD* or *dumped to a USB* with popular programs
|
||||
(such as Nero, CloneCD, Brasero), although in the modern era it's
|
||||
a deprecated way due nes kind of devices (Raspberri's, Phone's).
|
||||
- **Boot** or **[Booting](alpine-bios-uefi-info.md)** means "Boot"
|
||||
(started from a media source) a "image" recorded on DVD/CD or USB from
|
||||
the disc drive or from a USB port respectively, the computer boots
|
||||
this device and loads the Alpine operating system. Today that means
|
||||
involved with [BIOS and UEFI](alpine-bios-uefi-info.md) systems.
|
||||
|
||||
**[Setup\_modes of Alpine
|
||||
operation](Alpine_setup_scripts#Setup_modes "wikilink")**: Alpine Linux
|
||||
is designed to run from RAM directly, which means the download image is
|
||||
already a fully installed, but a minimally configured system. Review the
|
||||
**[Setup\_modes of Alpine
|
||||
operation](Alpine_setup_scripts#Setup_modes "wikilink")** for permanent
|
||||
installation options on most devices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Details
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
Alpine Linux has low system requirements. Nowadays almost hardware is
|
||||
supported, More requirements documentation can be found on the
|
||||
[Requirements](alpine-requirements.md) wiki page:
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory
|
||||
|
||||
- At least 128 MB of RAM for a server without a GUI.
|
||||
- At least 1.6 GB for graphical desktop
|
||||
- At least 4 GB for heavy Firefox or Chromium usage\!
|
||||
|
||||
More documentation is available on the [Memory requirements
|
||||
section](Requirements#Memory "wikilink") wiki page.
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage
|
||||
|
||||
- At least 1 GB storage device for a server without a GUI
|
||||
- At least 10 GB for graphical desktop, or 80 GB overall
|
||||
|
||||
More documentation regarding requirements is available on the [Storage
|
||||
requirements section](Requirements#Space "wikilink") wiki page
|
||||
|
||||
### GPU
|
||||
|
||||
The majority of GPUs are supported, but for advanced features, 3D
|
||||
acceleration is managed by the MESA project:
|
||||
|
||||
- Intel: mostly any Intel with one exception, intel i810/i815 will
|
||||
lack features because of its 4Mb memory, Mesa and Linux have dropped
|
||||
their support.
|
||||
- ATI/AMD: Only Radeon series with the exception of the last two years
|
||||
with respect to the Alpine release, Rage r128/match64 series has
|
||||
limited support.
|
||||
- Nvidia: Limited. Only a few are completly supported. Not all
|
||||
features are enabled.
|
||||
- Matrox: Not all features are supported. Just because they are
|
||||
shipped on most servers.
|
||||
- Sis: Limited features are supported. Code not updated on Xorg and
|
||||
Linux kernel.
|
||||
- Via: Limited features are supported. Openchrome code not updated on
|
||||
Xorg and Linux kernel.

## by booting from external devices
|
||||
|
||||
If the computer does not automatically boot from the desired device, one
|
||||
needs to bring up the boot menu selection for choosing the media to boot
|
||||
from. Depending on the computer the menu may be accessed by quickly
|
||||
pressing pressing a key repeatedly when booting starts. Sometimes you
|
||||
need to press the button before starting the computer and hold it down
|
||||
during bootup. Typical keys are: \`F9\`-\`F12\`, sometimes \`F7\` or
|
||||
\`F8\`. If these don't bring up the boot menu, it may be necessary to
|
||||
enter the BIOS configuration and adjust the boot settings. Typical keys
|
||||
are: \`Del\` \`F1\` \`F2\` \`F6\` or \`Esc.\`

.. firs of all.. when you start to learn something you should check your available resources agains the needs ..
|
||||
|
||||
## requirements
|
||||
|
||||
We are persons, so first of all [we have real life requirements](#real-life-requirements)
|
||||
and after [we need related requirements](#related-requirements).
|
||||
|
||||
You as future contributor or developer must check your resources and adapt those to your situation..
|
||||
that seems unrelated to learning but ITS VERY IMPORTANT! Why?: well cos in linux and development
|
||||
you shoul READ A LOT .. and that will waste time from your life.
|
||||
|
||||
### Real life requirementes
|
||||
|
||||
* **Manners**, you will must have a vocation for reading and analysis.
|
||||
* **Time**, you will need time, cos you will need to read a lot!
|
||||
* **Computer**, you should have a pc, or similar, by example most of the people uses the androit phone to handle an internal linux using [termux](termux-pending-file.md)
|
||||
|
||||
### Related requirementes
|
||||
|
||||
* **Knowledge** you will need a knowed editor, a god knowledge of git as minimal base..
|
||||
* **Internet**, and minimal bandwitch of internet network.. cos almost today all the development will forced to you to contribute over internet.
|
||||
* **Unix-like**, you should have some kind of way to interact with a UNIX like operating system, like MAC or Linux.

**Overall description:** Alpine Installation from a official disc/iso
|
||||
burned into DVD/CD to a new computer with [BIOS](alpine-bios-uefi-info.md#bios)
|
||||
or [UEFI](alpine-bios-uefi-info.md#uefi) and will be single only boot.
|
||||
|
||||
**It means:** that any thing in the computer and their storage will be erased to
|
||||
put Alpine Linux as main system, using a optical disk media as source install
|
||||
|
||||
This document will guide you to ***install Alpine into a new empty or
|
||||
just fresh PC or Laptop hardware computer**, use if you have a [BIOS or UEFI](../alpine/alpine-and-uefi.md)
|
||||
and only wants Alpine Linux into the target computer. For other ways
|
||||
of install check the index installation page cases at [Alpine Newbie Install](alpine-newbie-install.md) page
|
||||
|
||||
## Terminology
|
||||
|
||||
- **[UEFI](alpine-bios-uefi-info.md#uefi) **: it's a new system included
|
||||
in every new hardware machine laptop or desktops, that will manage
|
||||
the early boot process as a little operating system, see more in the
|
||||
[alpine-and-uefi.md](alpine-and-uefi.md) page.
|
||||
- **New machine**: will be your real machine fresh and ready to
|
||||
install your new Alpine operating system, with a installed CD/DVD
|
||||
Rom optical drive where to put the burned downloaded disc media
|
||||
installation.
|
||||
- **Source media**: will be the just burned/ disc from the downloaded
|
||||
iso file of Alpine operating system. Will be put into the optical
|
||||
drive or named [DVD/CD Rom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM) to
|
||||
property boot the source disc as media installation.
|
||||
- **Target media**: will be the storage medium device into the new
|
||||
computer target where the Alpine files for operating system will be
|
||||
installed, its one partition from the
|
||||
[HardDisk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive) of the new
|
||||
computer.
|
||||
- **Optical drive**: will be your hardware drive input to put the
|
||||
burned downloaded iso media with the operating system Alpine to
|
||||
install as source media; this drive are commonly named [DVD/CD
|
||||
Rom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM) unit.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- A blank disc (CD blank or DVD blank or BR blank) to just burn/record
|
||||
the source media file downloaded
|
||||
- In the new machine we need optical drive as input source media
|
||||
- In the new machine we need at least 512Mb of RAM, but required 2Gb
|
||||
of RAM for desktop/graphical applications
|
||||
- In the new machine we need target media with at least 2G of hard
|
||||
disk, but required 10G for desktops
|
||||
- Will need to previously downloaded and burned the Source media ISO
|
||||
file from <https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/>
|
||||
|
||||
Detailed requirements are at [../alpine/requirementes.md](../alpine/requirementes.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Preparing the source medium to install
|
||||
|
||||
Download the source medium to install and put into your home documents,
|
||||
this document will use the DISK IMAGE medium type ( ISO IMG formats)
|
||||
|
||||
If the source medium to install download URL will be as following format:
|
||||
`http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v<VERSION>/releases/<ARCH>/alpine-standard-<VERSION>.0-<ARCH>.iso`
|
||||
where `ARCH` and `VERSION` could be:
|
||||
|
||||
- `<ARCH>` will be
|
||||
- **x86**: the most used i386 32-bit x86 based machines, if your
|
||||
computer are too older use this only.
|
||||
- **x86\_64**: the popular AMD64 compatible 64-bit x86 based machines, for
|
||||
modern computers use this then.
|
||||
- **s390x**: For the Super powered IBM mainframes, use this for
|
||||
especially IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE servers then.
|
||||
- **ppc64le**: For the PowerPC devices with pure little-endian
|
||||
mode, mostly for POWER8 and POWER9 machines.
|
||||
- `<VERSION>` could be
|
||||
- **latest-stable** for a more up to date without taking care of stability
|
||||
- **3.10** the most recommended for machines between 2016 to 2018 mostly pc's
|
||||
- **3.14** the most recommended for rasberris and small devices (`x86_64`)
|
||||
- **3.16** the most recommended for machines from 2017 up to 2022 and servers
|
||||
|
||||
Example, so if we will use 3.10 alpine version the correct links to download will be:
|
||||
|
||||
- for **x86\_64** a link to download should be:
|
||||
`http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/x86_64/alpine-standard-3.10.0-x86_64.iso`
|
||||
- for **ppc64le** a link to download should be:
|
||||
`http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/ppc64le/alpine-standard-3.10.1-ppc64le.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
**Graphical download**: Just point the web browser to that url and the
|
||||
download of the iso file will start. A file with **.iso** extension
|
||||
type, with name like `"alpine-standard-3.10.0-x86_64.iso"` (if amd64) or
|
||||
like `alpine-standard-3.10.1-s390x.iso` (if s390x); will be downloaded
|
||||
commonly into the Download directory of your home or documents filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
**Command line method**: in unix-like terminal execute (by example to download the 3.10 for 64bit pc):
|
||||
`wget -c -t8 --no-check-certificate http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/x86_64/alpine-standard-3.10.0-x86_64.iso`,
|
||||
and where you run the command, in that place/dir will be downloaded the file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Burning the source medium to install
|
||||
|
||||
After downloading the source media file from [Alpine download page](https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/)
|
||||
put the blank disc into the input optical drive
|
||||
named [DVD/CDRom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM) and **open your CD/DVD
|
||||
recording program, choose to "burn from iso file"** and wait the process
|
||||
will end.
|
||||
|
||||
In detail if you downloaded with **Graphical download** (using a web
|
||||
browser), the source media file will be into the Download directory. If
|
||||
you downloaded with **Command line method** your source file probably
|
||||
will be in your root document home (or just `$HOME` of your Linux
|
||||
install or MAC install filesystem).
|
||||
|
||||
In Linux, assuming the blank disc is in the optical drive, the command
|
||||
to record/burn the downloaded source media file is :
|
||||
|
||||
`$ umount /dev/sr0;cdrecord -v -sao dev=/dev/sr0 alpine-standard-3.10.0-x86_64.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
If your blank media is a DVD or BD disc the command will be then :
|
||||
|
||||
`$ umount /dev/sr0;growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=alpine-standard-3.10.0-x86_64.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
## Booting the Alpine ISO disc
|
||||
|
||||
When the machine start, you must be sure to choose the optical drive
|
||||
(commonly named CD/DVD Rom drive), so the disc/iso will boot and after a
|
||||
while a command line shell will show you:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Runing the setup install
|
||||
|
||||
TODO: The steps here are common to all the normal metos of simple install
|
||||
|
||||
## Finishing the installation
|
||||
|
||||
After all of the scripts in the setup end, a "reboot" will be offered,
|
||||
just type "reboot" and press enter, remove the boot media and newly
|
||||
installed system will be booted.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**You cannot see a graphical window system? take it easy** and get calmed down..
|
||||
in Alpine all are made by the right way.. so **if user need a desktop.. user can (must) install a desktop**
