Etcher is a cross-platform graphical application to burn ISO images to usb drives.

Let's have a look how to use it in Linux

Hello everyone, It's Averga Linux user helping you to install, configure and use Linux

In this previous video I have shown how to make a bootable USB Drive

in Linux from the command line.

In this video I will show you how to make a bootable USB Drive

with a graphical program

To install Etcher you go to the

Etcher website and usually it automatically defines your system

and offer you to download the version for your system

if you detected your system wrong you can click here and select the image you want to use

I'll go with 64-bit Linux

save the file

after that go to your file manager

to downloads folder

and here right click on the compressed file

and select extract here

so now you uncompressed these files

and when you enter you have this Etcher image here

if you double-click on it in Ubuntu it should start automatically

if it doesn't start automatically it means there was a problem launched in this program so

let's check what was wrong

you right click here and select open in terminal

then you type the command LS

here is the name of the application you need to use

you copy it

after that you type dot slash

and you paste the name of this program

click enter

so as you can see there is an error

and this is because this file cannot be found

so to fix this error you need to install libgconf-2-4

so click enter

and enter your administrative password

after the program is installed try to run Etcher again

now as you can see it worked

you click select image

and you select the ISO you want to burn

so I will just use mini ISO of Ubuntu

click open next you need to select a USB Drive

Etcher usually finds USB flash drive automatically

but make sure it has selected the right USB Drive because if

you have several USB drives connected to your computer

it could select the wrong one

so if it select the wrong USB Drive just change it here

so in my case everything is correct

after that you just click flash

and this will write the ISO image to your USB Drive

you can see the progress here

so now the ISO image has been written to your USB drive.

you can reboot your system

and select the USB Drive during the boot process

and it will boot the ISO image you have

just written to USB flash drive

Etcher is very user friendly and reliable program to make a bootable USB Drive in Linux

I hope you will like it

thank you for watching
