Home Assistant Operating System has no integrated installer. You need to use your Desktop computer (e.g. by using a USB to S-ATA adapter) or boot a live operating system on your target system to install Home Assistant Operating System.
As a next step, we need to write the Operating System image to the target boot media (Your "boot media" is the disk, SSD, or eMMC that your x86-64 hardware will boot from when it is running Home Assistant).

You need to use your Desktop computer (e.g. by using a USB to S-ATA adapter) or boot a live operating system on your target system to install Home Assistant Operating System, by writing the disk image directly onto the boot media for your x86 system.
If you prefer to use a live operating system, follow the instructions of your Live distribution (e.g., [this Ubuntu guide](https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install)). Once you booted the live operating system, the following steps on how-to write the image to your installation media can be followed.
