Overview to installing AlmaLinux 8.7

Vaisala provides a customized ISO image for AlmaLinux 8.7 on the Vaisala FTP website at:

Vaisala supports two installation methods from the Vaisala spin version of the ISO image:

• Automatic - unattended installation
• Manual - interactive installation

For both installation methods you can use the local USB device as your installation media.

We recommend that you use the automatic process unless you have special system configuration needs or if your custom configuration fails the automatic installation process.

Installing Linux requires a Linux software installation tree and a boot device. You must transfer the AlmaLinux 8.4 distributions ISO images to the media that you are going to use in the installation.

You need the following to create installation media:

• PC running Windows 10/11, or AlmaLinux

• USB port and USB Flash Drive 64 GB

  Vaisala recommends a USB 3.0 drive because data transfer is much faster than USB 2.0.
