Overview

Kerio Control in the Software Appliance edition is distributed as an installation CD ISO image. The ISO image can be used also to generate a bootable USB flash drive.

Please follow the instructions according to your operating system:

Windows

1. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port on your computer.

2. Download the kerio-control-installer.iso file.

3. Download and unpack Image Writer (it does not require installation).

4. In Image Writer, find the kerio-control-installer.iso file, select your flash drive and click Write.

5. Eject the flash drive securely and remove it from your computer.

Linux

1. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port on your computer.

2. Run the terminal (console) in the super-user mode (e.g. using commands su or sudo -s — depending on your Linux distribution).

3. Use the command fdisk -l to detect the USB flash drive name (e.g. /dev/sdb).

4. Save the drive image to the USB flash drive using this command:

   dd if=kerio-control-installer.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=1M

   replacekerio-control-installer.iso by the real file name and/dev/sdx with the actual device name. It is necessary to enter the physical device (e.g. /dev/sdx), not only a partition (e.g. /dev/sdx1).

    

5. Use command sync to guarantee finishing all drive operations.

6. Eject the USB drive safely and remove it from the USB port.

OS X

1. Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port on your computer.

2. Run the terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal).

3. Use the command sudo diskutil list to detect the USB flash drive name (e.g. /dev/diskX or/dev/DiskY — mind the letter case).

4. Use the command sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskXto unmount the flash drive.

   This is case sensitive.

5. Save the drive image file to the USB flash drive by using this command:

   sudo dd if=kerio-control-installer.iso of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m

   replace kerio-control-installer.iso by the real file name and /dev/diskXwith the actual device name.

    

6. Eject the flash drive securely and remove it from your computer.
