cautionCAUTION This operation destroys data on the device you operate on.
  1. Run $ lsblk to list block devices on your system. Take note of the output.
  2. Insert a USB drive in the USB port.
  3. Run $ lsblk.

    Compare the output to the previous step. The additional block device from this output is your USB drive.

  4. Run $ dd if=path/toAlmalinux.iso of=/dev/xxx

    Where /dev/xxx is the path to the USB drive. Do not use the partition number for the USB drive.

    For example: /dev/sdc.
