## Installing AtomOS

### From an existing rhel compliant installation

`sudo bash -c "curl https://repo.elemento.cloud/get-atomos.sh | bash"`

### From Elemento live .iso
If you haven't installed AtomOS on your device yet, you can do so easily by downloading its live ISO version from [this link](https://repo.elemento.cloud/iso/AtomOS.iso). If you prefer a version without a graphical interface, you can opt for [this alternative ISO](https://repo.elemento.cloud/iso/AtomOS-headless.iso). Once you have the file, follow the instructions to burn it to a USB drive or DVD, then boot your computer from this media. If you have any doubts about how to do this, don't hesitate to ask for help from a more experienced friend or family member.
