2. Installation

Linux distribution packages:
You can download distribution packages for installation with your package manager.



pip / pipenv:
If the distribution’s own package manager is not supported yet, the USB-Imager can alternatively be installed via the Python package manager pip.
$ pip install usb-imager
$ pip uninstall usb-imager
or pipenv:
$ pipenv install usb-imager
$ pipenv run usb-imager
$ pipenv uninstall usb-imager




3. Usage
Start USB-Imager via the desktop icon or just type usb-imager in your terminal window.


4. Troubleshooting:
On some Linux distributions USB-Imager cannot be started from the command line or from a desktop icon after installation via pip.

Suggested solution for command line:
~/.local/bin may not be included in the executable search path due to a bug, you have to manually add the directory to the PATH environment variable by adding it to ~/.profile in this case.
$ PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH
