 ====== The Installation Guide ====== ====== The Installation Guide ======
 The intention of this reference Guide is to assist users in the process of installing **Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre** from the live system booted with the official installation image. This page assumes you have some **level of experience** with GNU/Linux systems and utilities, especially with the command line. If you'd like a assited, step-by-step guide through the installation process, see the [[en:manual:beginner_installation|Beginners guide]]. Before beginning, we recommend you also check our [[en:project:faq|Frequently Asked Questions]], the [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Frequently_asked_questions|Arch FAQ]], and employ the <color #620BB9/#EEDDFF>man ''command''</color> to read the man page of any command they are not familiar with. The Hyperbola wiki (known as **HyperWiki**), as well as the **ArchWiki**, should be the primary source of information and your first resource during trouble-shooting.  The intention of this reference Guide is to assist users in the process of installing **Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre** from the live system booted with the official installation image.
