How to install iso files on linux system?

Installation steps:

1. In/mnt, create a corresponding iso folder, such as iso.

2. Run the following command to mount the iso file


mount -o loop /home/tecmint/Fedora-18-i386-DVD.iso /mnt/iso

Description: /home/tecmint/Fedora-18-i386-DVD.iso is the path name of the iso file

After successfully installing the ISO image, go to /mnt/iso and list the contents of the ISO image. It can only be mounted in read-only mode, so you cannot modify any files.


cd /mnt/iso

ls -l

You will see a list of files for the ES32en image that we installed in the above command. For example, the list of directories for the Fedora-18-i386-DVD. iso image would look like this.


total 16

drwxrwsr-x 3 root 101737 2048 Jan 10 01:00 images

drwxrwsr-x 2 root 101737 2048 Jan 10 01:00 isolinux

drwxrwsr-x 2 root 101737 2048 Jan 10 01:00 LiveOS

drwxrwsr-x 28 root 101737 4096 Jan 10 00:38 Packages

drwxrwsr-x 2 root 101737 4096 Jan 10 00:43 repodata

-r--r--r-- 1 root root  1538 Jan 10 01:00 TRANS.TBL

3. At this point, in /mnt/iso directory, there are corresponding installation files, and then you can use these installation files to install the software.

Note: The above operation is performed after su root, and root permissions are required.
