## Installation from Bootable USB
**BIOS and UEFI Bootable USB**
*Creating on GNU/Linux*
This method is recommended due to its simplicity. **This will irrevocably destroy all data on /dev/sdx**
Run the following command, replacing /dev/sdx with your drive, e.g. /dev/sdb. (do not append a partition number, so do not use something like /dev/sdb1)
```
dd bs=512k if=/path/to/pentoo-amd64-hardened-2015.0_RC*.iso of=/dev/sdx && sync
```
and wait patiently until the process is completed.
*Creating on Windows*
If youre running under Windows, youll need to download the Win32 Disk Imager utility:

*Creating on OS X*
Run the following command, replacing /dev/diskx with your drive, e.g. /dev/disk7.
```
sudo dd if=/path/to/pentoo-amd64-hardened-2015.0_RC*.iso of=/dev/diskx bs=1m
```
and wait patiently until the process is completed.****
