- **Memory**: At least 8 GB of available RAM.
- **Storage**: Minimum 150 GB SSD.
- **Network**: The device must be connected to a wired LAN.
::: warning SSD required

:::
- **Other**: A USB flash drive with at least **8 GB** capacity.
## Create a bootable USB drive

## Boot from USB drive
1. Insert the bootable USB drive into the target machine.
2. Enter the **BIOS setup** and set **USB Boot** as the first boot option.
3. Save and restart. The system will automatically boot into the Olares installer interface.
## Install Olares
1. From the Olares installer interface, select **Install Olares to Hard Disk** and press **Enter**.
2. The installer will display a list of available disks (e.g., `sda 200G HARDDISK`).
Type `/dev/` followed by the disk name (e.g., `/dev/sda`) to select the installation target. The installation typically takes **45 minutes**.
:::tip Note
During installation, you may see prompts related to NVIDIA GPU drivers.
Simply press **Enter** to confirm.

3. Once you see the message below, the installation has completed successfully:
```shell
Installation completed successfully!
```
You can now remove the USB drive and press **Ctrl + Alt + Del** to restart.
## Verify installation
After rebooting, the system will enter Ubuntu.
1. Log in using the default credentials:
* **Username**: `olares`
* **Password**: `olares`
2. Run the following command to verify the installation:
```bash
sudo olares-check
```
If the output shows the following, Olares has been installed successfully:
```bash
check list ---------
check Olaresd: success
check Containerd: success
```
