Writing the ISO to a USB Stick

Ready to install GhostBSD? Here's how to prepare your USB stick on various systems. Replace the device path (e.g., /dev/da0, /dev/sdc) with your USB's actual path—check carefully to avoid overwriting the wrong drive!

On FreeBSD/GhostBSD

sudo dd if=~/Downloads/GhostBSD-25.02-R14.3p2.iso of=/dev/da0 bs=4m conv=sync

On Linux

sudo dd if=~/Downloads/GhostBSD-25.02-R14.3p2.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M conv=sync; sync

On macOS

sudo dd if=~/Downloads/GhostBSD-25.02-R14.3p2.iso of=/dev/disk2 bs=10240

On Windows

  • Download and run the imaging tool, Rufus, from the website.

  • Insert the USB flash drive.

  • Make sure the flash drive is shown in Rufus under Device.

  • Click "SELECT" and choose the GhostBSD ISO file.

  • Click "START".
