This part will be basic. It's going to break up the step by step installation for simple user that doesn't want to know much. I will advice you to read the rest of the document anyway. Don't be afraid of knowledge.

**Step 1: Operating system.** As mentioned in the Windows? section in the [readme](../../README.md) file, VCStudio is not designed to run smoothly on Windows. I don't know maybe it will. I just have no Windows near me to test. More then that, if you run Windows, I will recommend you to [upgrade from Windows](https://fsf.org/windows) since it's proprietary nature abuses your human rights.
|
**Step 1: Operating system.** VCStudio is developed on GNU / Linux. And will run best on GNU / Linux.

I'm developing and testing the software on GNU / Linux operating system. GNU / Linux is Free Software. Meaning you are in control over what the computer is doing. And not some company. I would not advice people to give away their control or their freedom. So I will not tolerate use of proprietary programs. Unless if it's to put an end to them. *(Using Facebook to tell people to get off of Facebook is okay.)*

For 100% Freedom respecting Operating Systems you may want to look at [this page.](http://gnu.org/distros) Tho keep in mind that some hardware could stop working because it's not going to be supported by 100% free software system. You can see if your hardware is supported [here.](https://h-node.org/) If your hardware is not supported don't be sad. You can still get an almost free system. Which is a huge step towards freedom. And should not be disregarded. Systems like [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/) and [Mint](https://linuxmint.com/) are a viable first step. They are not 100% free, but they do support most hardware. So for migration period they will be fine. See [this page](https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html) on why they are not recommended to use forever.

We made this decision since GNU / Linux is Free Software and Windows is not.

To install the chosen operating system on the hardware you will need to follow a few steps.

|
||||||
1. **Get the ISO of the system.** It a downloadable file that you can get on a web site of the Operating System. Usually it's in an ISO format.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. **Install the ISO on a USB drive.** This step will require you to research a bit if you are not already on GNU / Linux variant. On GNU / Linux you can use the Startup Disk Creator tool. *I'm not a Windows user. But I remember there was a program to make such USBs on Windows.*
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. **Configure BIOS or Coreboot to load from USB.** In the BIOS you could probably find a setting from what drive the computer will try loading the Operating System.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. **Install the Free OS.** The USB you created will be a little Operating System by it self. It's usually an Installer OS. Which will let you configure things like Language, file-system, user-name and password. It's usually not to difficult to understand them if you read everything carefully.

**Step 2: Get a copy of VCStudio.** This is very simple. Just download [this file](https://notabug.org/jyamihud/VCStudio/archive/master.tar.gz). And extract it in a preferred folder. I usually have a Software directory in my home folder. I would extract it there.
