How To Install Ventoy on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Ventoy on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, Ventoy is an open-source tool to create a bootable USB drive. One of the interesting features of this tool is that it lets you directly boot from an ISO file, with no extraction needed. It supports Legacy + UEFI mode.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Ventoy bootable apps on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish). You can follow the same instructions for Ubuntu 22.04 and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Pop!_OS, and more as well.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Ubuntu 22.04, 20.04, and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.

Install Ventoy on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish

Step 1. First, make sure that all your system packages are up-to-date by running the following apt commands in the terminal.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install dirmngr ca-certificates software-properties-common gnupg gnupg2 apt-transport-https

Step 2. Installing Ventoy on Ubuntu 22.04.

By default, Ventoy is not available on Ubuntu 22.04 base repository. Now run the following command below to download the latest version of Ventoy from official GitHub to your Ubuntu system:

wget https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/download/v1.0.97/ventoy-1.0.97-linux.tar.gz

To verify the integrity of the downloaded Ventoy files, you’ll need a checksum verification tool like md5sum or sha256sum. These tools are typically pre-installed on Ubuntu, but if not, you can install them using the package manager.

ventoy-1.0.97-linux.tar.gz: 1368a9082c9db25958e5407ef4984322d90d3bb00905337d4bd41678e06c1150

sudo tar -xf ventoy-1.0.97-linux.tar.gz
