UNetbootin (Universal Netboot Installer)<\/strong> is a free, open-source tool used to create bootable USB using ISO images. Bootable USB can be useful to either install an OS (Operating System) or to use it in a Live environment, i.e., OS boots in RAM (Random Access Memory) completely from USB and does not require installation on HDD\/SDD.<\/p>\n

This article will describe how to install Unetbootin on Debian 12 (Bookworm) systems.<\/p>\n

<\/a>How to Install UNetbootin on Debian 12?<\/h2>\n

Unetbootin is a popular tool to create bootable USBs. In the following steps, we are going to learn how we can install UNetbootin on Debian 12 systems.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Step 1: Download UNetbootin Binary File<\/h3>\n

The UNetbootin package is not available in the Debian 12 official repository. Therefore, we need to download it from UNetbootin’s GitHub link<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Click \u201cDownload (Linux<\/strong>)\u201d, which will redirect us to the page for downloading Linux:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here, we will download the binary file of UNetbootin. A binary file (.bin) is portable to use. Based on our processor architecture, we can select either a 32-bit binary or a 64-bit binary. This will download the binary file (unetbootin-linux64-702.bin<\/strong>) in the Downloads folder.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Step 2: Make Binary File Executable<\/h3>\n

In this step, we will make the binary file an executable file. First, we will open up the \u201cTerminal\u201d and will navigate to the Downloads folder using the below command:<\/p>\n

 <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
$ cd Downloads<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

We can run the following command to change the permission and convert the binary file to an executable file:<\/p>\n

 <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
$ chmod +x .\/unetbootin-linux64-*.bin<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

After running this command, UNetbootin\u2019s binary file will be converted into an executable file.<\/p>\n

We can check it by running the following command:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a>Step 3: Run Unetbootin on Debian 12<\/h3>\n

We will run UNetbootin\u2019s executable file to get GUI (Graphical User Interface) by running the following command:<\/p>\n

 <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo .\/unetbootin-linux64-*.bin<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

As we can see from the above screenshot, UNetbootin\u2019s tool is launched. We can use UNetbootin\u2019s tool to create a Bootable Linux USB.<\/p>\n
