How to install Ventoy

Tutorials & Guides

d/l the tar.gz file and extract it. Click VentoyGUI.x86_64.

Took me a while to figure this out. LOL.

It's especially useful if you want to install Tiny11 since Balena Etcher can't do Windows iso's. Neither can Unetbootin. BTW, Unetbootin is great for creating a FreeDOS boot thumb-drive for updating your BIOS.

To install Ventoy:

sudo apt install git

git clone https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy.git

Or download the tarball and extract wherever.

This will "install" Ventoy into your home directory (or whatever directory you are currently in). It does not need sudo to install or run.

Next we'll go into the directory:
cd Ventoy/INSTALL/
Now we can run the script that will allow us to configure and install to a USB drive.

This will require sudo.
sudo bash VentoyWeb.sh

  • Note: You can also specify the IP and port like this: sudo bash VentoyWeb.sh -H 192.168.0.100 -P 8080
    Then you can visit the WebUI from another computer.

Open your web browser and type http://127.0.0.1:24680 in the address bar.

My way seems easier.

Either way will work.... whether using the gui or the web interface.
